Abstract

Due to multiple medical advances over the past several years, angiographic investigation into arterial insufficiency as the cause of erectile dysfunction has decreased. Due to this, there is a general lack of familiarity with penile angiography technique and arterial anatomy, among current practicing interventional radiologists. Some potential indications for penile angiography include evaluation of penile trauma, high-flow priapism, further diagnostic evaluation of an abnormal penile Doppler ultrasound, or in the evaluation or treatment of erectile dysfunction with endovascular or surgical treatments. These indications, although relatively rare, still require practicing IRs to be familiar with angiographic anatomy of the penis. This article will briefly review angiographic technique in penile angiography with an emphasis on arterial anatomy.
