title: High-flow priapism as a complication of a veno-occlusive priapism: two case reports.
abstract: The presentation of two cases of veno-occlusive priapism, in patients of 36 and 58 years, in whom the different medical and surgical techniques employed, failed. The suspicion that high-flow priapism had been provoked by said surgical intervention was confirmed by bilateral arteriographs of the pudendal artery. The treatment, selective embolisation of the affected cavernosal artery with reabsorbable material, led to a rapid return of penile detumescence.
