Abstract

This chapter discusses pudendal artery stenting for male erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is defined as recurrent inability to achieve and maintain an erection satisfactory for sexual intercourse. ED and coronary artery disease (CAD) have common risk factors, such as diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, use of tobacco and insulin resistance. Endothelial dysfunction, abnormal vasomotion, and atherosclerosis are the factors contributing to ED. This chapter discusses the anatomy of erectile dysfunction, diagnosis of erectile dysfunction, angiography and internal pudendal artery stenting (IPAS). IPA stenting is feasible and associated with high degree of subjective and objective improvement in erectile functions.
