title: Enhanced cavernometry: procedure for the diagnosis of venogenic impotence.
abstract: A technique of cavernometry to diagnose corporovenous leakage (CVL) is described. The criterion used to define CVL was a corporeal infusion rate greater than 60 ml/min after the intracorporeal injection of 60 mg papaverine or 30 mg papaverine and 1 mg phentolamine. Alpha blockade in addition to papaverine decreased the incidence of corporovenous leakage.
