ObjectiveThe study aims to elucidate the factors associated with the short-term efficacy of ovarian vein embolization (OVE) in the treatment of pelvic venous insufficiency (PVI), to construct a predictive model for short-term efficacy of OV…

BackgroundPelvic congestion syndrome is a recognized cause of chronic pelvic pain resulting from ovarian or pelvic venous reflux or obstruction, diagnosed mainly by transvaginal duplex and treated medically, surgically, or with endovascular…

ObjectivePercutaneous endovenous embolization has emerged as a treatment of choice for nonobstructive pelvic venous disorders (PeVD) due to its effectiveness, ease of application, and less invasiveness compared with surgical interventions. …

ObjectiveThis study aims to evaluate and compare the clinical effectiveness of endovascular reintervention vs conservative medical therapy in patients with persistent or recurrent venous-origin chronic pelvic pain (CPP) after initial endova…

OBJECTIVE: Endovenous therapies are the current standard of care for managing pelvic venous disorders (PeVD) secondary to pelvic venous insufficiency. We previously reported superior short-term results after iliac vein stenting (ST) compare…

ObjectivesNutcracker syndrome (NCS) is an uncommon vascular disease, characterized by anatomical compression of the left renal vein (LRV). Associated symptoms include flank and pelvic pain, as well as hematuria and varicocele. Our objective…

ObjectivePelvic venous disorder (PeVD) is a heterogeneous condition with a range of presentations, including chronic pelvic pain (CPP), hematuria, flank pain, dyspareunia, pelvic, and lower extremity varicose veins. The clinical, anatomical…

BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of symptomatic pelvic venous insufficiency (PVI) in women is complicated when concomitant gynecological disorders are present. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the prevalence of concomitant gyneco…

BackgroundWe previously reported that in women with symptomatic pelvic venous insufficiency secondary to combined iliac vein stenosis (IVS) and ovarian vein reflux (OVR), treated with iliac vein stenting alone that 78% reported complete sym…

ObjectiveNutcracker syndrome is a rare condition that involves mechanical compression of the left renal vein, leading to chronic and debilitating left flank pain. The etiology of the pain is misdiagnosed frequently, and patients usually req…

ObjectivesRisk factors for varicose veins (VVs) such as female sex, pregnancy, and obesity are high estrogen states, yet the role of systemic progestins with or without estrogens (SPEs) in VV management is not well characterized. This study…

BackgroundThis article presents a detailed, step-by-step protocol for performing transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) examination to assess the pelvic veins, emphasizing its importance in the diagnosis of pelvic venous disorders (PeVDs).MethodsTh…

ObjectiveThe study aims to elucidate clinical and ultrasonographic characteristics of female patients diagnosed with pelvic varicose veins (PVVs) and to assess potential risk factors associated with incidences of chronic pelvic pain (CPP) i…

ObjectivePelvic venous reflux may be responsible for pelvic venous disorders and/or lower-limb (LL) varicose veins. Ultrasound investigation with Doppler allows a complete study of the entire infra-diaphragmatic venous reservoir. The aim of…

BackgroundPelvic venous disorders (PeVD) encompass a variety of conditions linked to chronic pelvic pain in women. However, PeVD remain underdiagnosed due to the absence of universally accepted diagnostic criteria. The complexity of PeVD cl…

ObjectiveThe primary etiology of pelvic venous disorder is multifactorial and challengeable in vascular surgery as it mandates multidisciplinary team cooperation for its evaluation and management.MethodsAll patients investigated for pelvic …

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of coils plus glue (CPG) in slope embankment technology vs coils plus sclerosant (CPS) in treating reflux-type pelvic venous disorders.MethodsThe analysis included patients …

Pelvic venous disease (PeVD) has historically been challenging to diagnose and treat. This paper describes a comprehensive approach to the diagnosis of PeVD and reviews the role of iliac vein stent placement in treatment. Patient selection …

Venous occlusion is sometimes caused by external compression due to adjacent masses. Endometriosis, the presence of functioning endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, is a rare cause of venous occlusion. We report a case of chronic …
