Endovascular transcatheter embolization of recurrent postsurgical varicocele: anatomic reasons for surgical failure.

CONCLUSION: Retrograde varicocele embolization may be superior to surgery because of its ability to detect gonadal vein variants. In our study group, transcatheter embolization with 3% polidocanol and fibered coils allowed successful, minimally invasive treatment of postsurgical varicoceles.
