Although it was not difficult to place a guidewire within the seminal vesicles through a needle via a transrectal access (Figure 1 (Fig. 1), Figure 2 (Fig. 2)), it was especially difficult to apply sufficient pressure to insert the angiographic catheter over the guide-wire into the seminal vesicle.
Subsequent to transrectal insertion of a guide-wire into the right seminal vesicle, it was directed towards the infundibulum of the seminal vesicle/into the direction of the ejaculatory ducts, but could not be further advanced. Fluoroscopy.

A 17 mm maximum intensity projection of a CT-Scan shows a guide-wire coiled within the lumen of the right seminal vesicle and an angiographic catheter sheath inserted into the seminal vesicle.

Needle, guidewire, sheath and catheter could all be placed into the seminal vesicle as demonstrated by CT-Imaging (Figure 3 (Fig. 3)).
