RSOVA CLOSURE WITH DEVICES/COIL by Dr. Nagesh Waghmare, Interventional Cardiologist & Heart Specialist in Mumbai, India.

The closure of a Right Suprarenal Ovarian Vein (RSOVA) with devices or coils is a procedure used to treat a condition called nutcracker syndrome. This is a condition where the right suprarenal ovarian vein compresses the left renal vein, causing high blood pressure in the renal vein and leading to various symptoms such as abdominal pain, swelling, and proteinuria.

The procedure involves using devices or coils to close off the RSOVA, thus relieving the pressure on the left renal vein. The procedure is typically recommended for patients who have nutcracker syndrome and have not responded to conservative treatments such as lifestyle changes and medications.

Eligibility for the procedure depends on several factors including the patient's age, overall health, and the severity of their nutcracker syndrome.
