Usefulness of Endovascular Therapy for Penile Gangrene Secondary to Calciphylaxis: A Case Report.

We here report a case of successful endovascular therapy for penile gangrene in a patient with calciphylaxis and a long history of diabetes mellitus and end-stage renal disease on dialysis. The internal iliac artery, with 75% stenosis, was treated with balloon-expandable bare metal stent implantation, whereas the inferior gluteal artery, 75% stenosis, was treated with balloon dilatation. After endovascular therapy, the intractable penile pain immediately resolved, and penile salvage with complete wound healing was achieved 6 months after the procedure.
