Abstract
Priapism can be successfully treated by unilateral or bilateral percutaneous transcatheter occlusion of the internal pudendal arteries. Occlusion should be reversible in order to avoid impotence. Embolization with an autologous clot satisfies this requirement because of clot lysis and consequent vessel recanalization. This treatment is the most specific therapy in 'high-flow' priapism. The authors describe extensively 5 cases which demonstrate the feasibility of the method by which sexual potency is preserved.File in questo prodotto:
