    Author: Smith TP, Hunter DW, Cragg AH, Darcy MD, Castaneda-Zuniga WR, Sinclair TR, Ercole C, Hulbert JC, Kaye KW, Amplatz K.
    Journal: Radiology; 1988 Jul; 168(1):137-9. PubMed ID: 3380950.
    Abstract:
    Spermatic venography with hot contrast material embolization was undertaken in 81 patients with varicoceles and infertility. Long-term follow-up information was available in 91% of the patients, and there was an overall conception rate of 40.5%. Embolization with hot contrast material was easily performed without special embolization devices and proved to be a safe and effective technique.
