Intra-individual comparative study of dynamic and pharmacocavernography.
A series of 65 consecutive patients with suspected venous leakage as a cause of their erectile dysfunction underwent dynamic and pharmacocavernometry/cavernography. This comparison of methods for diagnosing venous leakage produced divergent findings in 25/65 patients (38.5%). Because of its theoretical advantages, pharmacocavernometry/cavernography is recommended for the diagnosis of venous leakage.
