title: Selective sclerotherapy of the internal spermatic vein in patients with varicoceles.
abstract: Percutaneous occlusion therapy of insufficient internal spermatic veins was performed successfully as an outpatient procedure in 155 patients with varicoceles. The administration of the sclerosing agent (Varicocid) through a catheter selectively introduced into the spermatic vein caused therapeutic occlusion. Follow-up studies, both clinical and phlebographic, confirmed the effectiveness of the treatment.
