A simple, non-invasive method of Fallopian tube sperm perfusion

Abstract

This case report describes a simple non-invasive method of Fallopian tube sperm perfusion using a paediatric Foley catheter, which does not require cannulation of the Fallopian tube and can be performed on an outpatient basis. The patient achieved an intra-uterine pregnancy with demonstrable fetal heart beats. Subsequently, use of this method in 29 treatment cycles in 14 women with unexplained infertility has resulted in six singleton and one twin ongoing clinical pregnancies.
