Results of Transfemoral Testicular Vein Obliteration Using a Balloon Catheter

  • Conference paper
Varicocele and Male Infertility

Abstract

In this symposium different techniques for transfemoral obliteration of the testicular vein are reviewed. At the University of Vienna Medical School, a coaxial catheter-balloon catheter system has been used for sclerosing in order to minimize the risk of sclerosant reflux into the renal vein [8, 9]. The technique has been routinely employed for the past 18 months in a total of 58 cases.
