Technetium-99 pelvic scan: use in follow-up of penile revascularization bypass operations

Technetium-99 scans have been tried to demonstrate patency of a graft in patients who have had vascular bypass procedures for vascular impotency. In 4 of 6 patients, patency was demonstrated. The technique is of value in assessing postoperative graft patency of the penile bypass procedures and may obviate the need for postoperative angiography.
