Correlation between intracavernous papaverine injection, Doppler analysis and cavernosography in impotent patients.
Forty-four patients with impotence were evaluated by intracavernous papaverine injection, penile brachial index (PBI) determination and dynamic cavernosography. The correlation between these diagnostic procedures and their diagnostic value were investigated. It was concluded that the papaverine test is an efficient diagnostic procedure and can be used as the first step for the routine work-up of impotent patients.
