In a first, he performed a surgery in which he implanted a  stent into the penis.<\/p>\n<p>This was done to improve the blood flow, a  stent which is a tiny metal tube that widens an artery, is normally used  to treat blocked arteries in the heart. And now in a novel use it has  been used to improve the blood flow to the penis as the lack of blood  flow is one of the biggest impediments to getting a proper erection.<\/p>\n<p>The  results in the short term have been encouraging but it remains to be  seen what the long term effectiveness of this procedure is. Improving  the blood flow to the penis may help a few patients but there are other  things to be considered as well beside this when it comes to effectively  treating erectile dysfunction ( such as problems with the muscles in  the penis etc.).<\/p>\n<p>This is an expensive procedure with the cost being anywhere between US$ 6500 to US$  11000 and not many cardiologists are performing this type of surgery in  the penis. So I suggest waiting to see some more concrete results and  exhausting all other non invasive treatments before going in for this  particular procedure.
