See physician: There is 90% success rate with radiologic guided embolization, the same results as those achieved with more invasive surgical techniques.In approximately five to 10 percent of patients the varicoceles return. This rate of varicocele recurrence is similar to the rate reported for more invasive surgical procedures.The recovery period following varicocele embolization is typically 48 to 72 hours.
