A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This prospective interventional study will compare transjugular and transfemoral embolization using NBCA to treat varicocele in up to 30 male participants aged 16–60. Patient venous anatomy will determine the approach, and each participant will be followed at one and three months after the procedure to assess effectiveness, symptom changes, and safety. Outcomes include treatment success, improvement in symptoms, and any procedure-related complications. The study is sponsored by Sohag University and conducted at its Faculty of Medicine in Sohag, Egypt.
