To investigate the value of vacuum constriction devices in the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
A total of 67 patients were treated with vacuum constriction devices. The impotence was of organic origin in 36 men (54%) while in the remaining 31 (46%) it was of mixed aetiology (organic and psychological factors). Forty-seven patients continued to use the device at home for the duration of the practice period.
All 67 patients underwent a vacuum test which resulted in nearly half of them achieving an erection sufficient for intercourse. Adequate erections were achieved in 34 of 47 (72%) patients who used the device at home during the practice period. In the group of patients with organic impotence (venous leakage), rigidity was better and the frequency of intercourse higher than in patients with diabetes and in those with neurogenic disorders.
These findings support further the role for vacuum devices for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in carefully selected patients.
探讨真空缩窄装置在治疗勃起功能障碍中的价值。
共有67例患者接受了真空缩窄装置治疗。36名男性（54%）的阳痿为器质性病因，其余31名（46%）为混合病因（器质性和心理因素）。47例患者在实践期内持续在家使用该装置。
所有67例患者均接受了真空测试，其中近一半患者实现了足以进行性交的勃起。在实践期内，47例在家使用该装置的患者中有34例（72%）实现了充分勃起。在器质性阳痿（静脉漏）患者组中，勃起硬度优于糖尿病患者和神经源性疾病患者，性交频率也更高。
这些发现进一步支持了真空装置在精心挑选的患者中治疗勃起功能障碍的作用。
