The Anatomy, Physiology and Molecular Pathways of Vascular Erectile Dysfunction

Pages s37-s41 | Published online: 26 Aug 2008
 

Summary

Vascular erectile dysfunction (VED) is composed of penile arterial insufficiency and veno-occlusive dysfunction. Both the arterial and venous dysfunctions are associated with cellular and molecular abnormalities. The goal of this work is to provide a summary of the gross anatomical and physiological abnormalities associated with VED and a theory of how these abnormalities result in VED based on the known molecular mechanism in cavernosal tissue and non-penile vascular tissue.
