Abstract

OBJECTIVE. The Essure microinsert is a new U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved method of birth control. The objective of this study is to report our initial experience using hysterosalpingography (HSG) to assess its efficacy for permanent tubal occlusion. CONCLUSION. The Essure microinsert produced tubal blockage in all patients. As this device may become more widely used, radiologists should be aware of the device's appearance and be able to assess device position and presence of tubal occlusion on HSG.
