Pelvic congestion syndrome is a chronic disease affecting women of childbearing age which significantly and in the long-term affects the quality of life of patients. Causes of the syndrome are ovarian vein incompetence, compression syndromes, and sequelae of extensive venous thrombosis. The disease is predominantly managed with endovascular treatment, consisting of embolization of incompetent veins and recanalization in the case of compression syndromes or chronic venous occlusions. The technical success rate is high, while the clinical success rate is lower.

Keywords: pelvic congestion syndrome, ovarian vein, compressive syndrome, embolization.
