The Cost-effectiveness of Hysterosalpingography Versus Hysterosalpingo-foam Sonography During Fertility Work-up
Sponsor: Amsterdam UMC, location VUmc
Summary
Hysterosalpingography (HSG) and hysterosalpingo-foam sonography are two methods to assess tubal patency during fertility work-up. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of tubal flushing with oil-based contrast during HSG compared to tubal flushing during HyFoSy in women undergoing fertility work-up. The hypothesis is that tubal flushing with oil-based contrast during HSG leads to more live births than tubal flushing during HyFoSy.
Official title: Is, in Infertile Women Undergoing a Basic Fertility Work-up, Tubal Flushing With Oil-based Contrast Medium During Hysterosalpingography (HSG) Cost-effective Compared to Tubal Flushing by Hysterosalpingo-foam Sonography (HyFoSy)?

Conditions
Interventions
Oil-based contrast
oil-based contrast fluid, Lipiodol Ultra Fluid. Lipiodol is a solution of iodinated ethyl esters of fatty acids of poppyseed oil. Equivalent to 480 mg iodine per ml. The maximum dosage is 15ml. Lipiodol is produced by Guerbet, France. Lipiodol is FDA approved and registered as contrast agent for HSG.
ExEm Foam
ExEm Foam which is created by mixing 5ml ExEm-gel and 5ml of purified water. ExEm-gel contains hydroxyethylcellulose and glycerol. The ExEm Foam is distributed by IQ Medical Ventures, the Netherlands. ExEm Foam is FDA approved, CE marked and registered as contrast agent for HyFoSy.
