Key result
A positive intracavernous injection test demonstrated normal veno-occlusive function but suggested arterial disease in 19% of cases, indicating it does not necessarily signify normal hemodynamics.
Why the study?
Does a positive intracavernous injection test imply normal erectile hemodynamics in patients undergoing impotence evaluation?
Observational (n=80)

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Positive injection tests may not ensure normal hemodynamics; challenges premise and leaves open need for veno-occlusive testing.
Pescatori et al. (1994) conducted an observational in Impotence (n=80). Positive intracavernous injection test was evaluated on Presence of arterial occlusive disease based on systemic-cavernous systolic arterial blood pressure gradients ≥35 mmHg. A positive intracavernous injection test demonstrated normal veno-occlusive function but suggested arterial disease in 19% of cases, indicating it does not necessarily signify normal hemodynamics.
