Description

Objective: To evaluate the clinical value of selective salpingography (SSG) and fallopian tube recanalization (FTR) by home-made coaxial catheter. Methods: 116 cases of tube obstruction were diagnosed by hystero-salpingogram (HSG). SSG was performed with home-made coaxial catheter. If proximal tube complete obstruction was still present, then followed by FTR. Results: 116 cases of follow up showed 55 intrauterine pregnancies (IUPS) and 6 ectopic pregnancies. IUP rate was 47.4%. 28 of 116 cases were performed by HSG again, 25 of 28 cases were improved, effective rate was 89.3%. Conclusions: SSG and FTR were a safe and effective procedure for the diagnosis and treatment of tube obstruction with home-made coaxial catheter
