title: [Non-invasive hemodynamic evaluation of male impotence (author's transl)].
abstract: Since male impotence may be caused by a variety or non vascular factors, more precise techniques for identifying potential operative candidates must be developed. Our protocol includes nocturnal penile plethysmography, Döppler velocity at 8 levels, penile systolic pressure, electromagnetic blood flow measurement, penile reactive hyperemia. This non-invasive protocol applied on 21 patients aims to select those who would benefit from direct penile revascularization procedures. We are studying the venous emptying rate for more complete physiologic approach.
