Impotence Due to the External Iliac Steal Syndrome Treated by Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty

Abstract

We report a case of secondary erectile impotence proved angiographically to be caused by an external iliac artery stenosis associated with a steal phenomenon in the pelvic region. The patient was treated successfully by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, which can be an attractive alternative to an operation in selected patients.
