Quantify the Degree of Pain Relief of Pelvic Congestion Syndrome Following Gonadal Vein Embolization
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
The primary objective is to quantify the degree of pain relief in patients undergoing gonadal vein embolization with coils as well as identify clinical or imaging factors that are predictive of a positive response to treatment, or poor response to treatment.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Female patients 18 years of age or older * Meet the clinical and imaging criteria for the diagnosis of PCS and have no contraindications to coil embolization of the gonadal veins. * Patients who are treated with coil embolization of the gonadal veins in the Interventional Radiology division between October 1, 2018 to October 1, 2019. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients less than 18 years of age. * Patients who are found to have an underlying cause of pelvic congestion syndrome unrelated to venous congestion and insufficiency. This includes, but is not limited to, nutcracker syndrome, or a mass resulting in extrinsic compression of the gonadal veins. * Patients who have received prior surgical therapy for PCS, including bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (TAH-BSO), gonadal vein resection, or gonadal vein ligation.
