Technical report: fallopian tube recanalization facilitated by a hydrophillic glide wire.

Fallopian tube recanalization is now a well established radiological procedure (1). We describe a case in which the tubal obstruction was resistant to the standard technique of recanalization by the passage of a platinum tipped wire but in which we were able to achieve success with the aid of a hydrophillic "glide" wire (Radifocus angled tip, Terumo Corporation, Tokyo, Japan).
