摘要：
Methods and devices for performing minimally invasive procedures useful for Fallopian tube diagnostics are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the proximal os of the Fallopian tube is accessed via an intrauterine approach； an introducer catheter is advanced to cannulate and form a fluid tight seal with the proximal os of the Fallopian tube； a second catheter inside the introducer catheter is provided to track the length of the Fallopian tube and out into the abdominal cavity； a balloon at the end of the second catheter is inflated and the second catheter is retracted until the balloon seals the distal os of the Fallopian tube； irrigation is performed substantially over the length of the Fallopian tube； and the irrigation fluid is recovered for cytology or cell analysis.
