    Abstract:
    Fifty-two patients with varicocele underwent embolotherapy using stainless steel coils. Forty-six of the patients complained of infertility, four of scrotal mass and two of scrotal pain. The procedure was successful in 42 of the 52 patients (81%). Positive semen analyses increased 53% (16/30), and the number of subsequent pregnancies was five of 33 (15%). We conclude that embolotherapy with the coils is a useful therapeutic procedure for varicoceles.
