A member asked:
Is it possible to have a varicocele embolization undone (i.e. remove the coil)? if so, are there any risks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varicocele: In general no, it is not feasible to remove the coil from a small vessel such as the spermatic vein. I think the larger question is, why would you want to have it removed?
