Pelvic venous congestion syndrome: Diagnosis and endovascular management

Síndrome de congestión venosa pélvica: Diagnóstico y manejo endovascular

It consists of the dilatation of the intrapelvic venous structures that generates its increase in number and caliber. The main symptom is chronic pelvic pain and may be associated with dyspareunia, dysmenorrhea, postcoital pain and perineal heaviness; It is manifested by genital and atypical varices in the lower limbs. The different medical and surgical strategies are ineffective and / or safe. Endovascular therapy offers a minimally invasive approach that allows diagnosis and definitive treatment. A search was made of the studies published in the world literature on the different diagnostic and therapeutic methods, including series of cases and controls in which the results of endovascular therapy were evaluated. Abbreviations: SCVP, pelvic venous congestion syndrome.
