[The value of arteriography in the diagnosis and treatment of post-traumatic secondary impotence (author's transl)].

Angiographic investigations in 9 patients with partial or total post-traumatic secondary impotence present for several years, confirmed the presence of traumatic vascular lesions involving, in nearly all cases, the artery of the penis or its branches (cavernous and bulbar arteries). Selective angiography of the pudendal arteries was able to guide treatment in 5 of these patients. Epigastrocavernous anastomoses, according to the microsurgical procedure developed by Michal, were performed with excellent results in 3 cases.
