Abstract:
21 patients with left-sided idiopathic varicoceles were examined by angiodynography, Doppler sonography and phlebography. Patients treated by sclerosis therapy were re-examined by angiodynography and Doppler sonography after six weeks. Both methods permitted classification into a "stop & shunt type". Angiodynography, particularly for small varicoceles, was quicker and more pleasant for the patient. Real time imaging by angiodynography makes it possible to evaluate pre- and posttherapeutic changes in the pampiniform plexus and in the scrotum.
