Other anastomoses can exist between the ISV and other venous outflow channels in the retroperitoneum and pelvis. These anastomoses can permit reflux and varicocele formation even in the presence of a competent valve in the proximal ISV. The resulting condition is termed an aberrantly supplied varicocele. The reported rate of this phenomenon is 17%-19% of patients examined with spermatic venography. Percutaneous treatment of this type of varicocele is possible, but requires occlusion of the...
