Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility 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.
  • * 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.
