[Arteriographic diagnosis of erectile impotence].

The complex interactions of psychological, neurological, hormonal and vascular aspects of erectile dysfunctions require a standardised multidisciplinary diagnostic evaluation. The recent establishment of new noninvasive and invasive investigative procedures has led to a fundamental change in the assessment of erectile dysfunctions. Selective angiography of the internal pudendal artery and its branches represents the crucial diagnostic step before treatment can start. Indication, technique and results of 26 bilaterally performed pudendal angiographies on impotent patients are described.
