The Advantages of the EDGEProcedure®
The New Approach to Erectile Dysfunction Caused by Venous Leak
The EDGEProcedure® is a patent-pending, minimally invasive treatment developed to address erectile dysfunction caused by penile venous leak, a condition that had no meaningful treatment options.
- Introducing The EDGEProcedure With Dr Pittman
Why the EDGEProcedure® Was Created
While caring for patients with leg varicose veins, Dr. Christopher Pittman began hearing a familiar pattern. Many men shared that their urologists had identified a similar problem — a “venous leak” contributing to erectile dysfunction — but also explained that there were limited options to address it directly.
With decades of experience treating venous disease elsewhere in the body, Dr. Pittman recognized the connection. The same principles used to successfully treat malfunctioning veins in the legs could be adapted to address penile venous leak.
That insight led to the development of the EDGEProcedure®, designed to focus on the underlying cause rather than offering temporary symptom management.
Treating the Cause, Not Just the Symptoms
Erectile dysfunction is often treated as a single problem, even though it can have very different underlying causes. As a result, many men cycle through pills, injections, or other interventions that focus on short-term effects rather than what’s actually happening inside the body.
For a large number of men, erectile dysfunction is linked to penile venous leak, a condition in which blood cannot be properly retained to maintain an erection. Research and clinical observation suggest this may affect up to 80% of men with ED, yet it has historically lacked targeted treatment options.
The EDGEProcedure® was developed with a different mindset. Instead of approaching erectile dysfunction as a one-size-fits-all condition, it focuses specifically on venous leak and the role blood retention plays in erectile function.
By narrowing the focus to the underlying cause, rather than relying solely on symptom management, EDGE represents a more targeted, physician-led approach for men who were told their options were limited.
Why Choose EDGEProcedure®?
Minimally Invasive
A precise, ultrasound-guided approach designed to address penile venous leak — without major surgery, implants, or extensive procedures.
Little to No Pain
Patients commonly report minimal discomfort during and after treatment, making it a well-tolerated option for men with ED related to venous leak.
No Downtime
A walk-in, walk-out procedure typically completed within about an hour, allowing most patients to return to their normal daily activities right away.
Physician-Led & Safety-Focused
Developed and performed by Dr. Christopher Pittman, a world-recognized vein specialist, using advanced imaging technology to support accuracy and consistency.
Proven Results
Early, self-reported outcomes show meaningful improvements in erectile function and high patient satisfaction, though individual results vary.
Root-Cause Solution
Rather than masking symptoms, the EDGEProcedure targets malfunctioning veins involved in venous leak, supporting natural blood retention.
RESEARCH, PARTNERSHIPS & EVOLUTION
Built on Proven Vein Science
The EDGEProcedure® builds on vein-treatment techniques that have been used safely elsewhere in the body for decades. By combining these established methods with advanced ultrasound guidance, EDGE brings precision to an area that had long been overlooked.
Developed within established vein-care networks, the procedure continues to evolve through ongoing evaluation and refinement. This is not a passing trend, but an advancement rooted in real-world experience and venous science.
An Honest Conversation About Treatment
Is the EDGEProcedure® Right for Everyone?
No single treatment works for every case of erectile dysfunction, and the EDGEProcedure® is no exception. Erectile dysfunction can have multiple causes, including hormonal, arterial, neurological, or psychological factors.
The EDGEProcedure is designed specifically for men whose ED may be linked to penile venous leak. That’s why proper evaluation matters. Some men may be good candidates, while others may benefit from different or additional approaches.
This is intentional. EDGE stays focused on what it was designed to address — the underlying venous cause — rather than claiming to be a fix for every type of ED.
The goal is clarity, not pressure. Understanding what’s contributing to your symptoms is the first step toward making an informed decision about your care.

Common Questions
Straight answers to questions we hear every day
Have You Been Diagnosed with Erectile Dysfunction (ED) Due to A Venous Leak?
Penile venous leak is a common but often overlooked cause of erectile dysfunction, affecting up to 80% of men with ED. The EDGEProcedure® is a breakthrough procedure that targets this underlying cause. Despite decades of research, there has been no widely accepted treatment for ED caused by venous leak — until now.
How Does the EDGEProcedure® Work?
Using advanced ultrasound-guided technology, the EDGEProcedure® precisely targets and closes malfunctioning veins that cause venous leak. This restores natural blood retention, helping improve erectile firmness and function — without surgery, implants, or medication.
Is the EDGEProcedure® FDA-Approved?
No. The EDGEProcedure® adapts a proven approach for treating veins elsewhere in the body specifically for penile veins.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Most patients require more than one treatment for best results. Some notice immediate improvement after one session, while others may benefit from several treatments over a few months, depending on severity and response.
What Are the Risks of The EDGEProcedure®?
Early results have shown an excellent safety profile. Mild bruising, swelling, or discomfort are possible but have not been reported.
Always discuss risks, benefits, and alternatives with your physician.
