Research recommendations coming out of this guidance Further research on angioplasty and stenting to treat peripheral arterial disease causing refractory erectile dysfunction should provide clear details of patient selection. Efficacy outcomes should include procedural success (as measured by arterial imaging and blood-flow measurement), validated scoring systems of erectile dysfunction, and the duration of treatment effect. All complications should be reported. NICE may update the guidance on publication of further evidence.
