A member asked:
My varicocele was embolized in the main bore of the gonadal vein, 1" from the renal vein entry. will the engorged veins below die off and drain through other veins or could they remain active/dilated?

Unknown: I would think anticoagulation of some sort would be considered if you were significantly symptomatic. I would defer this long term radiologic finding to your urologist.
