Glans ischemia after penis revascularization: therapeutic embolization.
A case of hypervascularization of the penis with glans ischemia after venous leakage procedure followed by revascularization of the penis is reported. The venous bypass between the inferior epigastric artery and the dorsal penile artery was misplaced on the deep dorsal vein leading to venous hypertension of the glans. Transcatheter embolization of the venous bypass cured this complication.
