How It Works

This IR procedure shuts down the enlarged veins and redirects blood flow to healthy veins.

  1. The interventional radiologist makes a tiny incision in your inner thigh, then uses x-ray to guide a catheter to the enlarged veins.
  2. A liquid contrast is injected to make the veins more visible.
  3. Coils or particles are inserted to block/shut down the enlarged veins.
  4. Blood flow is redirected to nearby healthy veins.
Ask your urologist if IR treatment is right for you.

What to Expect

  • Procedure time of 30-45 minutes
  • Light sedation to make you relaxed and sleepy
  • A shot of numbing medication in your inner thigh.

After Your Procedure

  • Go home after a 2-hour recovery.
  • Resume moderate activity after 1-2 days
  • Avoid sexual activity for a few weeks
