Iotrolan was investigated as a new contrast medium for hysterosalpingography. Fertility rates and side-effects were registered in a series of 108 consecutive patients. The results indicate a higher fertility rate after hysterosalpingography with iotrolan than after the use of other water-soluble contrast media but a lower fertility rate when compared to lipiodol. As for side-effects, the study indicates that the frequencies of low abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding after hysterosalpingography are equal for iotrolan and lipiodol but higher for other, water-soluble contrast media. A prospective, randomized study is recommended for the clarification of these aspects.
