[Angiographic diagnosis of vascular impotence].

Twelve patients (average age 40 +/- 15 years) with impotentia coeundi were angiographically examined under suspicion of a vasculogenic impotence. Overview angiographies of the pelvis and selective iliaca interna injections were performed. The normal anatomy of the pudendal artery and the penile branches is shown. Ten patients were suffering from a stenosis or total occlusion of the dorsal pudendal artery, the dorsal penile artery or the profound penile artery with or without filling of a peripheral segment. The role of arteriography in surgical treatment is discussed.
