High flow priapism occurs mainly as a result of a posttraumatic arteriocavernous fistula. Treatment aims to seal the fistula without damaging erectile function. Of all the available treatments, supraselective embolization of the lacerated artery achieves optimal sealing of the fistula with minimal damage to the surrounding tissues. There is no consensus regarding the best materials to be used. Although reabsorbable materials have traditionally been the most commonly used, it is also possible to achieve adequate resolution of the priapism with adequate conservation of erectile function using non-reabsorbable materials, especially microcoils. We describe two cases of patients with high flow priapism caused by bilateral arteriocavernous fistulas treated using microcoil embolization.
