Tubal Recanalization
Fallopian tube recanalisation is the reopening of the fallopian tubes with the help of microcatheters (very fine, flexible plastic tubes that are visible under X-ray) and microguidewires (thin and flexible wires over which a microcatheter can be inserted into the body), which the interventional radiologist places into the vagina and cervix.
The microcatheter is inserted through the fallopian tube over a microguidewire. This clears any blockages in the fallopian tubes and restores the connection between the uterus and the abdominal cavity. This procedure is used to treat infertility caused by a blockage in the fallopian tubes.
This procedure can ease infertility that is caused by blockage of the fallopian tubes.

Treatment
The procedure is done under sterile conditions to avoid the possibility of introducing infection. The overall time to do the procedure is about a half an hour, most of which is spent in getting you comfortable, readying the equipment, and cleaning the skin. The actual time spent in evaluating and unblocking the tubes is usually only a matter of minutes and you will be able to leave about a half-hour after your procedure is completed. You must be accompanied by an adult who can take you home afterward. The doctors will explain to you and your companion the results and a letter will be sent to your doctor as well.

The fallopian tubes are important for female fertility. They are the passageways for the eggs to travel from the ovaries to the uterus. During conception:
- The ovary releases an egg, which travels into the fallopian tube.
- Sperm travels into the fallopian tubes to fertilize the egg.
- The resulting embryo is nourished and transported to the uterus where the pregnancy continues.
Fallopian tube recanalization (FTR) is a nonsurgical procedure our interventional radiologists use to treat these blockages. Recanalization is the medical term for “reopening.”
During the procedure, which does not require any needles or incisions, we will:
- Place a speculum into the vagina and pass a small plastic tube (catheter) through the cervix into the uterus.
- Inject a liquid contrast agent (sometimes called a dye, although nothing is stained) through the catheter.
- Examine the uterine cavity on a nearby monitor using an X-ray camera.
- Obtain a hystero-salpingogram or HSG. Literally, that means a “uterus-and-fallopian-tube-picture.”
- Determine if there is a blockage and if it is located on one or both fallopian tubes.
- Thread a smaller catheter through the first catheter and then into the fallopian tube to clear the blockage.
