title: [Intra-cavernous injections of vasoactive drugs. A 10-year experience at an andrologic center].
abstract: The clinical experience of an andrological center in the use of the intra cavernous injections of vaso-active drugs is revisited. Clinical data concerning 1513 ICIs performed, in the last ten years, in 1038 patients have been considered. Various vasoactive drugs have been utilized. Mainly papaverine and prostaglandin E1 are usually employed. The experience and the establishment of the modalities of use both as diagnostic tool and as therapeutic procedure of this particular type of stimulation of the intracavernous vascular system has greatly reduced the possibility of complications and collateral side effects.
