ROENTGENOSURGICAL METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING VARICOCELE OF HEMODYNAMIC TYPE Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves puncturing subclavicular vein in subclavicular access. Alternating renal vein catheterizing is applied and invasive pressure in renal veins is measured first in orthostasis at Valsalva test level and then in clinostasis with finger compression at the level of upper middle one/third of the inguinal canal. Then, examination in orthostasis at Valsalva test level is carried out using piezoelectric transducer and retaining compression with finger. Selective retrograde renal phlebography is additionally applied. Pressure in the left renal vein is determined in orthostasis, clinostasis with finger compression at the level of upper middle one/third of the inguinal canal. Reflux contrast on testicular vein and vein diameter dilatation is determined. The criteria are used to diagnose hemodynamic type of varicocele.

EFFECT: minimized analytical error caused by hematocrit number.
