Angiography, first procedural time: diagnostic angiography and endovascular embolization of right pudendal branches (a) digital subtraction angiography (DSA) with pig-tail catheter in abdominal aorta showing arterial active blush at penis root (discontinued black arrow) bilaterally supplied (heads of black arrows); (b) DSA of right hypogastric artery showing.urethral-bulb arterial branches (heads of white arrow), distal branches of the internal pudendal artery and localization of the vascular injury; (c) Ultra-selective microcatheterism of the target vessel under road-map guidance; (d) DSA showing contrast agent extravasation into the urethral bulb performed with microcatheter’s tip at the origin ostium of the urethral-bulb arterial branch (discontinued white arrow); (e) DSA of the internal pudendal artery after endovascular embolization with micro-coils (white arrows), the vascular injury is successfully excluded and the physiological «cavernosal blush» (discontinued white oval) is preserved
