Pelvic or perineal trauma often results in arterial injury as the likely mechanism of ED.

متن کاملPancreatic polypeptide and calcitonin secretion from a pancreatic tumour-clinical improvement after hepatic artery embolization.
We present a case in which plasma pancreatic polypeptide and calcitonin were found to be raised in association with an islet cell tumour of the pancreas and its hepatic metastases. In this patient, no specific endocrine syndrome was found. Therapeutic hepatic artery embolization improved the general health of the patient with no change in plasma pancreatic polypeptide, but a fall in calcitonin.
متن کاملSelective hepatic artery embolization for treatment of patients with metastatic carcinoid and pancreatic endocrine tumors.
BACKGROUND Prognosis in patients with carcinoid and pancreatic endocrine tumors with diffuse, unresectable liver metastases is poor. Palliation is often difficult despite the use of somatostatin analogs, interferon alpha, or systemic chemotherapy. Several reviews have suggested that hepatic artery embolization, with or without intraarterial chemotherapy, can be used for control of symptoms and ...
