  1. Fallopian Tube Recanalization at USA Vascular Centers

  2. What is FTR? Fallopian Tube Recanalization (FTR) is conducted to unblock fallopian tubes- a cause of infertility for many females. At USA Vascular Centers our physicians are trained in this procedure, which is a vast improvement over the microsurgery that was previously used, usually with poor results. These procedures are most usually done on an outpatient basis, and our interventional radiologists conduct them in our clinics.

  3. Why is FTR Necessary? Blockages in fallopian tubes is the cause of infertility. The FTR procedure enables the doctor to find the blockage and remove it. Many times the blockage is caused by mucus or other “debris” and can be successfully cleared by the recanalization.

  4. FTR Procedure Before the recanalization procedure, you will be given a sedative so that you are comfortable and relaxed. When the procedure begins, contrast dye is inserted into the fallopian tube to locate the blockage. Then our doctors use advanced ultrasound equipment to guide them to the precise area of the fallopian tubes that need to be treated. A catheter is passed through the cervix into the fallopian tube. When the doctor gets to the blockage, a small wire is used to open it up. Then contrast dye is injected into the tube to make sure there is no leakage.

  5. Common FTR Questions How long is the FTR procedure? The procedure takes about 30 minutes. Will I go home after the procedure? Yes. You will be discharged to your home approximately 2 hours after the procedure.

  6. Common FTR Questions Will I be able to get pregnant after the procedure? Unfortunately the best answer to that question is “It all depends”. The FTR procedure does restore fertility in many women. However, the ability to get pregnant after the procedure also depends upon the location and cause of the blockage and any other mitigating health conditions that may affect fertility.
