[Complications of varicocele embolization: adhesion of the intravascular catheter during infusion of bucrylate].
The introduction of percutaneous occlusion techniques to manage a varicocele has made possible the control of the process with success rates similar to those obtained with conventional surgery. Its efficacy and minimal invasive nature, although not entirely risk-free, are responsible for its expansion. Contribution of one case of adhesion of the intravascular catheter to the underlying spermatic vein wall during infusion with isobutyl cyanoacrylate (bucrylate) as embolization material, an event which forced immediate surgical removal.
