title: [Technique and value of digital subtraction angiography in erectile dysfunction].
abstract: Arteriography of penile arterial supply is of decisive importance in the diagnostic evaluation of arteriogenic impotence. Technique and results of penile arteriography by means of high-resolution DSA in 26 impotent men are reported. In comparison to direct serial angiography on large-scale films, high-resolution DSA with 1024(2)-matrix provides the advantages of reduced investigation-time and reduction of contrast media load. Additional detailed views in different projections can be easily obtained. In 15 of 26 patients (mean age 54.9 years) a total of 34 steno-occlusive vessel changes were found (57.7%). 65.4% showed anatomic variations. In all patients, DSA provided clear vascular diagnosis. Thus, additional large-scale serial filming never became necessary. Results are comparable to those reported by other authors. In conclusion, high-resolution DSA can completely replace large-scale serial angiography in the evaluation of penile arterial supply.
