Urol Radiol. 1991;13(1):74-9. doi: 10.1007/BF02924594.

Abstract

In the last five years angio-interventional techniques have been applied to the recanalization of proximally occluded fallopian tubes in infertile women. The reported technical success of 90% and subsequent pregnancies in up to 54% of patients has led to considerable interest in this technique. This article will discuss current methodologies and review the reported results of this procedure.
