THERAPY OF ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION RESULTING FROM VENOUS LEAKAGE - LONG-TERM RESULTS OF PENILE VEIN EMBOLIZATION

We report on the long-term follow-up of 49 patients suffering from ven ous leakage as the cause of their erectile dysfunction, who underwent transpenile or retrograde penile vein occlusion therapy. The results a re comparable to those of penile vein surgery, the side effects are ne gligible. The long-term success rate of 20% (mean follow-up 19 months) after primary successful embolisation demands a precise selection of patients in the future.
