Research Abstract

The primary etiology of pelvic venous disorder is multifactorial and challengeable in vascular surgery as it mandates multidisciplinary team cooperation for its evaluation and management.

Methods

All patients investigated for pelvic venous disorder in a high-volume, tertiary referral university hospital were identified and analyzed retrospectively during the period (March 2021 through September 2022). Demographic and medical data were scored. Agreement between the noninvasive modalities (computed tomographic venography [CTV] or magnetic resonance venography [MRV]) and diagnostic venography in detecting the refluxing pelvic veins was analyzed.
