Xiaflex candidates

[anon1986]

What do you guys think is the "ideal" candidate for xiaflex to work?

Is there a certain degree of curvature that is too much? I have around 45° lateral curve, and my plaque is close to a vein on the side of my penis. Obviously I'm planning on getting a urologists opinion but just wondering if this sounds like anyone else here?

Sounds like a good candidate for xiaflex.

Yes, Dr Lue told me 5 years ago if the plaque is concentrated in one spot (I don't recall him putting an angle on it) then the person is a good candidate for Xiaflex, because it's easy to inject right into it. So you do sound like a good candidate.

I agree with the above. You are a good candidate and insurance (in USA) should cover if bend is at least 30 degrees and in the stable phase of Peyronies Disease and not calcified. Bends greater than 60 degree may have less improvement and also may not be covered by insurance. So 45 degree seems the sweet spot....so to speak...and having a single plaque to inject is much easier. Even thought it is near a vein, it should be easy to avoid that.

Yes, I totally agree Shane.
