  • Title: Evaluation of tubal patency by hysterocontrast sonography (HyCoSy, Echovist) and its correlation with laparoscopic findings.

    Abstract:
    In 20 patients with suspected infertility, fallopian tube patency was assessed using Doppler-supplemented hysterocontrast sonography (HyCoSy). All patients underwent transvaginal HyCoSy with the contrast agent SHU 454/Echovist prior to laparoscopy with chromopertubation (chromolaparoscopy). Following application of the Echovist contrast medium, the fallopian tubes were visualized with B-mode scanning and tubal flow was evaluated by means of Doppler sonography. None of the patients received anesthesia. We found corresponding results with regard to the tube patency between HyCoSy and conventional chromolaparoscopy in 82.5% of cases. These results make transvaginal HyCoSy a suitable first-line diagnostic procedure in patients with infertility disorders.
