Deep venous dilemmas: unraveling complex pathologies in pelvic venous disorders

This PVI 2025 session replay starts following the patient journey of a 40-year-old woman with chronic pelvic pain to illustrate the complexity of pelvic venous disorders. 

It then reviews the classification and pathophysiology of PeVD, with a focus on left renal vein compression and Nutcracker syndrome (NCS), highlighting why NCS should be approached as a functional disease and assessed before embolisation. 

The session also addresses NIVL as an underlying cause of PeVD and examines ovarian and internal iliac vein embolisation, underscoring reported pain relief rates, the importance of careful venographic evaluation, and the role of combined embolic strategies. 

It concludes with key considerations for treating pelvic venous disease in adolescents, young women, and during pregnancy.
