Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Three patients developed severe ischemia of the penis or scrotum from acute arterial occlusion. In one case, nonhealing ulceration of the glans developed after atheroembolism to the dorsal penile artery. One patient had penile ischemia after ligation of pelvic and femoral collateral circulation during repair of an aorto-bilateral-iliac artery aneurysm. A third patient had ischemia of the penis and scrotum from thromboembolism to the iliac arteries during repair of an aortoenteric fistula. Only seven patients have been described with acute arterial occlusion and severe ischemia of the male genitalia. A rare phenomenon because of rich collateral circulation, acute ischemia of the genitalia nevertheless must be recognized as a sign of severe vascular disease and a consequence of major arterial ligation or occlusion in the pelvis and groins. |
