简要总结
Pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS) is a common cause of chronic pelvic pain in women and is associated with pelvic venous insufficiency. This prospective interventional study aims to evaluate the safety and clinical effectiveness of endovascular embolization in relieving symptoms and improving quality of life in women diagnosed with PCS
详细描述
Pelvic congestion syndrome is characterized by chronic pelvic pain resulting from pelvic venous reflux and varicosities. Endovascular embolization has emerged as a minimally invasive treatment with promising clinical outcomes. This prospective interventional study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of endovascular embolization in female patients with clinically suspected and imaging-confirmed PCS. Patients will undergo clinical assessment, imaging evaluation, and endovascular treatment according to standard institutional protocols. Clinical outcomes will be assessed using pain scores and symptom improvement during follow-up, while procedural success, technical outcomes, and complications will also be recorded
