Abstract

Venogenic erectile dysfunction is an important problem. Embolization of draining veins through penile deep dorsal vein is an effective alternative endovascular treatment procedure. We report a 27-year-old male with venogenic erectile dysfunction who developed pulmonary embolism after penile deep dorsal vein embolization with n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) and lipiodol mixture. Although it is uncommon, due to inherent possible complications of liquid embolic material n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate and lipid soluble contrast material lipiodol, symptomatic pulmonary embolism could be seen after deep dorsal vein embolization if the amount of lipiodol is increased and repeat injection is performed without performing a control venogram.
