Abstract

Purpose: Evaluating the result of varicocele endovascular intervention by sandwich technique combining Coils and glue (histocryl).


Methods and objectives: 78 patients were diagnosed and treated successfully at Bach Mai hospital from 5/2009 to 5/2017, they were examined, performed semen analysis and ultrasound at before and after 6 months of embolization.
Result: The average age of 22.6 years old, the hospitalized reasons is mainly scrotal pain, with 76.9%. After 6 months of treatment, all patients have pain reduction, the pain scores decreased from 6.7 points to 1.2, p < 0.05. Increasing sperm concentration from 10 million/ml to 21 million/ml, sperm mobility increased from 27% to 55%, p <0.05. Spermatic vein
diameter returns to normal limits and have no reflux line after 6 months. No major or minor complications during the intervention and 6 months after intervention
Conclusion: Embolization of spermatic vein with technique sandwich combined Coils and glue to treat varicocele is safe and high effective.
