Diagnosis of venous incompetence inerectile dysfunction

In 26 of 214 patients with erectile dysfunction and proved venous
incompetence by cavernosography, an additional bidirectional
Doppler ultrasound was performed also to demonstrate venous outflow
disturbances. All except one leakage in the superficial and deep
dorsal veins could be demonstrated as well as 4 of 6
cavernosum-glandular shunts. Bidirectional Doppler ultrasound
visualized a continuous retrograde blood flow from the sulcus
coronarius to the root of the penis in superficial and deep dorsal
penile veins as well as in ectopic penile veins, an orthograde
blood flow in the sulcus coronarius in cavernosum-glandular shunt.
