Long-term predictors of assisted erectile function after high-flow priapism: patient profile matters more than embolization technique

Nonetheless, nearly half of patients required assisted EF at follow-up, with comorbidities and lower baseline EF as significant predictors. Long-term monitoring and individualized counseling are essential.
