About this study
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.
Sponsor: University of Kansas Medical Center
You may qualify if…
- ✓ Female patients 18 years of age or older

- ✓ Patients who are treated with coil embolization of the gonadal veins in the Interventional Radiology division between October 1, 2018 to October 1, 2019.
You may not qualify if…
- ✕ 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.
