Vasculogenic Erectile Dysfunction in Renal Transplant RecipientsAssessment of Potential Risk Factors

Abstract

Penile vascular insufficiency is less common in RTRs than previously reported. The pathogenesis of penile arterial occlusive disease in impotent RTRs is mainly due to associated vascular risk factors. After unilateral interruption of the internal iliac artery, an adequate penile blood supply is maintained in the majority of cases. Early transplantation may delay or prevent the development of penile vasculopathy.
