Recanalization of Proximal Fallopian Tube Obstruction in the Treatment of Infertility.
Semin Intervent Radiol

Article Synopsis
- - Infertility impacts around 15% of people globally, with proximal fallopian tube obstruction (FTO) accounting for a significant portion, specifically 25% of tubal disease cases.
- - Tubal patency can be assessed using various methods, and fallopian tube recanalization (FTR) has a high success rate, potentially leading to pregnancy in 12.8% to 51% of cases, especially when using oil-based contrast media.
- - Although FTR is effective, it is often underused in treating infertility caused by proximal FTO, and it may offer a less expensive alternative to more invasive procedures like in vitro fertilization, also reducing emotional and physical burdens on patients.
