Abstract：Objective:To investigate the effect and safety of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in the diagnosis of venous erectile dysfunction (VED).Methods:From June 2015 to March 2016,43 ED patients underwent corpus cavemography,of whom 23 were diagnosed with and the other 20 without corpus cavemosal venous leakage (CCVL).All the patients received intracorporal injection of a vasoactive drug and CEUS.Results:Of the 23 patients with CCVL,21 were confirmed by CEUS,including 12 cases of double venous leakage,2 cases of single venous leakage,5 cases of crural venous leakage,and 2 cases of the mixed type,while the other 2 showed no CCVL on CEUS.Of the 20 patients with CCVL,2 presented CCVL on CEUS.Conclusion:CEUS has the advantages of accuracy,safety,and less invasiveness in the diagnosis of VED.
