Abstract

Since the first description of testicular vein obliteration by Jaccarino in 1977, many other methods have been described for preventing reflux into the pampiniform plexus [4, 5, 8, 9, 11 - 14]. At the University of Vienna Medical School since 1979 a coaxial catheter-balloon catheter system has been used for sclerosing, in order to minimize the risk of sclerosant reflux into the renal vein [8].
