Of 74 men with erectile dysfunction who used a vacuum device at home only 20 were satisfied with the erections achieved. The device was offered only to men who had not been helped by sexual counseling, self-injection therapy or venous surgery, and to 8 patients who had had problems with a penile implant. Fibrosis reduces the chances of success with the vacuum device, and only 2 of 14 such patients used it successfully. In all 9 patients with psychogenic impotence the device failed. Although 9 men did achieve erections with the device, they disliked it so much that they did not begin regular use. Our disappointing overall result was probably due to negative patient selection.
在74名在家使用真空装置治疗勃起功能障碍的男性中，只有20人对所获得的勃起效果感到满意。该装置仅提供给那些未从性咨询、自我注射疗法或静脉手术中得到帮助的男性，以及8名阴茎植入物出现问题的患者。纤维化降低了使用真空装置成功治疗的几率，14名此类患者中只有2人成功使用了该装置。在所有9名患有心因性阳痿的患者中，该装置均告失败。尽管有9名男性通过该装置实现了勃起，但他们非常不喜欢它，以至于没有开始定期使用。我们令人失望的总体结果可能是由于患者选择不当所致。
