description INTRODUCTION: Varicocele is a common condition affecting males of reproductive age and accounting for the most frequent cause of secondary infertility in males. PRESENTATION: A young male presented with second infertility and bilateral varicoceles and underwent antegrade angioembolization. He developed testicular ischemia and testicular failure with new onset hypogonadism and cryptozoospermia. CONCLUSION: Antegrade embolization is a valid option in patients with varicoceles but has its own unique risks of complications.
