Abstract

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common male condition, which is closely related with cardiovascular diseases. With the increasing incidence of cardiovascular events, arteriogenic ED (AED) is becoming more prevalent in recent years. Despite the variety of therapies for ED, no effective treatment has been found for this arteriogenic type. Based on the experience in the successful treatment of cardiovascular diseases by endovascular therapy, some scholars are carrying out clinical researches on this therapy for AED, which has shed some new light on its management. This review outlines recent advances in the studies of endovascular therapy for AED.

动脉性ED是男性常见疾病,与心血管疾病关系密切。近年来伴随心血管疾病发病率增加,动脉性ED发病率也逐年升高。目前ED治疗方法很多,但仍有很多问题有待进一步解决。参考介入治疗心血管疾病的成功经验,国外学者尝试开展小血管介入治疗动脉性ED的临床研究,为临床医师治疗ED提供了一种新思路。.
