Results:
53 women underwent technically successful FTR procedures between January
2010 and December 2016 (figure 2). Of these women, 18 did not have
follow up at 1 year or did not conceive within 1 year after the
procedure and, therefore, did not meet criteria for inclusion into this
study. Of the remaining 35 women with technically successful FTR
procedures, the average length of follow-up was 1335 days (224-2566
days). The average age of the woman at the time of the procedure was
32.3 (26-43 years).
1 peri-procedural complication occurred with an uncomplicated urinary
tract infection 1 week after the procedure.
Post-procedurally, 13 women (37.1%) had conceived naturally. Of these
women, 2 women had ectopic pregnancies and 2 additional women had
spontaneous abortions. The spontaneous intrauterine rate was 31.4%. The
THB rate for women who conceived naturally after a technically
successful FTR procedure was 25.7%.
In the 22 women who did not conceive after the FTR procedure, 19 women
(86.4%) elected to undergo assisted reproductive techniques (ARTs). Of
which, 8 women (42.1%) became pregnant.
