Between February 1985 and January 1987, 186 patients with erectile dysfunction were selected for cavernosal autoinjection therapy (CAT). After more than 4800 protocolled autoinjections and 10-230 CAT/pt., no cavernous fibrosis, penile deviation or cavernitis occurred. The only serious side effects were prolonged erections in about 10% during diagnostic and less than 1% during therapeutic use. These prolonged erections could be easily treated by puncture and aspiration of corpora cavernosa or intracavernosal injection of Metaraminol.
