PURPOSE: To review the efficacy of treatment of high-flow @entity3327 with superselective transcatheter embolization. METHODS: Over a 2-year period, we reviewed five @entity1 who were treated for traumatic high-flow @entity3327 with superselective embolization. All @entity1 underwent diagnostic angiography that demonstrated a communication between the cavernosal artery and the corpora cavernosa. Each identified @entity292 was embolized using gel-foam, @entity4461 , microcoils, or a combination of these. RESULTS: All five @entity1 had successful detumesence of @entity3327 postprocedure. There was normal recurrence of early morning erection with successful detumescence for each @entity1 within a 2- to 4-week period. Two of five @entity1 (40%) presented with recurrence of @entity3327 at 6 months and required a repeat embolization procedure. At 1 year, four of the five @entity1 (80%) had normal erectile function. CONCLUSION: Superselective transcatheter embolization is a useful therapeutic modality in the treatment of high-flow @entity3327 . It provides equivalent rates of detumesence when compared to surgical techniques, and appears to have a greater success in preserving erectile function.

Treatment of "high-flow" XXXX with superselective transcatheter embolization: a useful alternative to surgery.
