title: Percutaneous transpenile and retrograde venous occlusion for the treatment of venous leak impotence.
abstract: In 17 patients percutaneous transpenile venous occlusion was performed for the treatment of so-called venous leak impotence. Because of primary failure, the procedure was repeated in 5 patients. On four occasions, it was combined with a retrograde venous occlusion via the internal iliac vein. Within a rather short follow-up period of 23 months maximum, the overall success rate is 65%. Six patients are able to have intercourse and 5 others need additional intracavernous injections. Complications of the procedure were not observed.
