EVALUATION OF VASCULOGENIC ERECTILE IMPOTENCE USING DICC (DYNAMIC INFUSION CAVERNOSOMETRY ^|^amp; CEVERNOSOGRAPHY) WITH INTRACAVERNOUS INJECTION OF PAPAVERINE

Dynamic infusion cavernosometry and cavernosography (DICC) with intracevernous injection of papaverine was performed in 28 men. The change of the corporal body pressure after injection of papaverine and the intracavernous pressure decrease within the first 30 seconds after discontinuation of saline infusion were observed. Four different patterns of cavernometric findings can be identified on the basis of the intracavernous pressure behavior in response to injection of papaverine, infusion of saline and discontinuation of infusion: pattern A represents no vasculogenic insufficiency, pattern B represents pure arterial insufficiency, pattern C clearly represents venous leak and pattern D represents venous leak and arterial insufficiency. Cavernosography has found out effectively the sites of venous leakage in most our cases.
