PURPOSE: We retrospectively evaluated superselective embolization with Gelfoam for the management ofpost-traumatic arterial priapism. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Six male patients with post-traumatic priapism underwentpudendal angiography and embolization. We evaluated the time and incidence of detumescence after embolization andcompared normal erectile function and its duration with the results of other reports. In all patients, colorDoppler sonography was performed pre- and post-angiographically. RESULTS: On pudendal arteriography,intracavernosal arteriovenous fistulas were observed in all patients, and pseudoaneurysm of the cavernosal artery(or common penile artery) in three. Detumescence and normal erec-tile function were achieved in all patients aftersuperselective embolization. Using color Doppler sonography, the location of the lesion causing priapism wasfound, in four patients, to be the proximal or middle one-third of the cavernosal artery. CONCLUSION: Pudendalangiography with superselective embolization with Gelfoam is a safe and effective method for the correction ofpost-traumatic arterial priapism.
