In 3 patients with varicocele a pressure difference was found between the left renal vein and inferior vena cava. No pressure difference was found between the right renal vein and inferior vena cava in these same patients. In a control group of 5 patients right and left renal veins and inferior vena cava pressures closely approximated each other. These preliminary findings are discussed and found to be in disagreement with current concepts of the pathogenesis of varicocele.
在3例精索静脉曲张患者中，发现左肾静脉与下腔静脉之间存在压力差。在这些相同患者中，右肾静脉与下腔静脉之间未发现压力差。在一个由5名患者组成的对照组中，左右肾静脉和下腔静脉的压力彼此非常接近。对这些初步发现进行了讨论，发现与目前关于精索静脉曲张发病机制的概念不一致。
