Targeted care for chronic pelvic pain related to pelvic venous congestion.
In women, some cases of infertility may be caused by a blocked fallopian tube. If a gynecologist has performed a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) and it shows a blockage, you may be a candidate for fallopian tube recanalization.
SAVI doctors use a nonsurgical procedure to treat these blockages. A small plastic tube (catheter) is passed through the cervix into the uterus. A contrast dye is injected through the catheter to allow the radiologist to examine the uterine cavity using fluoroscopic X-ray. Once the blockage has been located, a smaller catheter is threaded through the first catheter using a tiny wire, and the blockage in the tube is cleared.
Many women go on to successful pregnancies after fallopian tube recanalization.
