Intravasation during hysterosalpingography using oil-base contrast medium--a second look.

摘要: Hysterosalpingography is a study performed commonly to assess the upper reproductive tract in infertile women. A risk with hysterosalpingography either lymphatic and/or venous intravasation or without embolization. Of 593 consecutive hysterosalpingograms low-viscosity oil-base medium, occurred 41 cases (6.9%). Embolization was documented six patients. There were no recognized adverse sequelae from Intravasation frequently associated pathology of genital tract, and suspected tubal occlusion most common abnormality detected. Proper timing procedure avoidance excessive instillation pressure will diminish incidence this complication. The use both medium high-resolution fluoroscopic image intensification may increase detection intravasation.
