Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the influence of sarcopenia on the outcomes of endovascular treatment in patients with pelvic venous insufficiency (PVI).
Material and methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 62 female patients who underwent endovascular treatment for PVI between January 2012 and July 2020. The patients were evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for chronic pelvic pain, both before treatment and three months post-treatment. A successful treatment outcome was defined as a reduction in pelvic pain by 50% or more. Sarcopenia was diagnosed based on the skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) of the patients.
Results: Sarcopenia was present in 20 (32.3%) patients. There was no significant difference in preprocedural VAS scores between sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic patients (36.2 ± 16.9 vs. 34.9 ± 16.1, p = 0.781). However, non-sarcopenic patients achieved a significantly greater reduction in VAS scores post-treatment (67.6 ± 22.4% vs. 53.1 ± 24.4%, p = 0.025). A moderate negative correlation was observed between sarcopenia and successful treatment outcomes (r = -0.365, p = 0.004).
Conclusion: Sarcopenia negatively impacts the effectiveness of endovascular treatment in patients with PVI.

CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology (CVIR) is the official journal of the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe, and is also the official organ of a number of additional distinguished national and international interventional radiological societies. CVIR publishes double blinded peer-reviewed original research work including clinical and laboratory investigations, technical notes, case reports, works in progress, and letters to the editor, as well as review articles, pictorial essays, editorials, and special invited submissions in the field of vascular and interventional radiology. Beside the communication of the latest research results in this field, it is also the aim of CVIR to support continuous medical education. Articles that are accepted for publication are done so with the understanding that they, or their substantive contents, have not been and will not be submitted to any other publication.
