Abstract

Pelvic venous disease (PeVD) are one of the most important causes of chronic pelvic pain in women resulting from the pathological venous flow in ovarian and pelvic veins. Pelvic vein embolization is the method of choice for treatment of PeVD caused by primary reflux in ovarian and internal iliac veins. In this review, we discuss possible complications and side effects after embolization therapy.
