Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between the deformation of penile artery and the primary artery erectile dysfunction, and to improve the treatment and diagnosis of primary artery erectile dysfunction.

Methods: One case of primary artery erectile dysfunction was presented with its primary clinic data.

Results: The dorsal artery of the penis was thin and the bilateral penile arteries were lacking by arteriography. The implantation of a penile prosthesis significantly improved the patient's erectile function.

Conclusion: The primary artery erectile dysfunction is a relatively rare disease. The possibility of primary artery erectile dysfunction should be kept in mind. Penile prosthesis implantation is an effective means for the treatment of primary artery erectile dysfunction.
