Development of Peyronie's disease with the use of a vacuum constriction device

J H Kim et al. J Urol. 1993 May.

Abstract

Vacuum constriction devices are generally considered to be a safe, effective, noninvasive means of producing erections in impotent men. However, long-term study of the effect of subatmospheric pressure on penile structures and vasculature has not been performed. We report the development of Peyronie's disease in a patient after 4 years of complication-free vacuum constriction device use.
