    This case study details priapism in a patient on Coumadin after aortic valve replacement. A surgical shunt successfully treated the condition, highlighting the urgency of priapism management for maintaining potency.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Cardiology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Priapism, a prolonged erection, can lead to erectile dysfunction if not treated promptly.
    • A 65-year-old male patient with a history of aortic valve replacement was initiated on oral Coumadin therapy.
    • The etiology of priapism can be multifactorial, including medication side effects.

    Observation:

    • The patient presented with an unusual case of priapism.
    • The onset of priapism coincided with the initiation of Coumadin therapy.
    • Initial conservative management strategies for priapism were unsuccessful.

    Findings:

    • A corpus spongiosum-cavernosum shunt was performed to manage the priapism.
    • The surgical intervention successfully resolved the priapism.

  • The case highlights a potential association between Coumadin therapy and priapism.

    • Implications:

    • Urgent intervention for priapism is crucial for preserving erectile function.
    • This case underscores the importance of considering medication side effects in the differential diagnosis of priapism.
    • Effective management strategies for priapism, including surgical shunting, are vital for patient outcomes.
