Summary
Transcatheter embolization effectively treated high-flow priapism caused by an arteriovenous fistula. This minimally invasive procedure, using N-butyl-cyanoacrylate (NBCA), restored erectile function and resolved the condition in a recent case.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Interventional Radiology
- Vascular Surgery
Background:
- High-flow priapism is a persistent erection often caused by penile trauma and arteriovenous fistula formation.
- Traditional treatments can be invasive and may compromise erectile function.
- Transcatheter embolization offers a less invasive alternative for managing such conditions.
