Figure 1. (AeD) Pre-operative and (EeG) postoperative penile pharmacologically challenged duplex sonograms 10 min after intracavernous injection of vasoactive drugs in the same patient treated for drug-resistant erectile dysfunction caused by cavernovenous leakage. (A, B) Arterial function assessed by peak systolic velocity in the (A) right and (B) left cavernosal arteries. A venous occlusive function is compromised, as shown by the end-diastolic velocity >5 cm/s (here: 16 cm/s). (C) Venous occlusive function compromised by abnormal leakage of the deep dorsal vein (DDV; here DDV velocity: 59 cm/s). (D) Leakage in an abnormal superficial vein (superficial vein velocity). (E, F) Three months after surgery, the end-diastolic velocity was 12 cm/s in the (E) right and (F) left cavernosal arteries. (G) Absence of leakage from DDV. Superficial vein velocity undetected (not shown).
