Percutaneous temporary embolization of the internal pudendal arteries in idiopathic priapism: 2 additional cases.
We report 2 cases of successful treatment of priapism by transcatheter embolization of the internal pudendal arteries. Recovery of penile blood flow was confirmed by Doppler flowmetry and potency was preserved. Embolization with autologous clot is at least partially reversible and interventional angiography warrants consideration in the treatment of priapism.
