title: [The role and practical application of a diagnostic test using papaverine in erection dysfunction].
abstract: The intracavernous injection of papaverine for diagnostic purposes in the impotent subject can facilitate the velocimetric exploration of the penile arteries and may induce a rigid erection which may have a therapeutic application. This simple procedure does however necessitate prudence and experience. In particular, the dose injected and the site of injection are subject to precise criteria.
