Complications in pregnancies after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer

Combined interstitial and intrauterine pregnancies after in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.

A case of combined interstitial and intrauterine pregnancies after bilateral salpingectomy and in-vitro fertilization with embryo transfer is reported. The case was incorrectly diagnosed ultrasonographically as intrauterine triplets at 7 weeks gestation. The patient suffered from intra-abdominal bleeding at 14 weeks gestation. At laparotomy, a ruptured left interstitial pregnancy with a non-via...

Heterotopic pregnancy after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.

We have presented a second case of heterotopic pregnancy after IVF-ET. The most likely cause is direct extrusion of embryos through the tubal ostia by the hydrostatic pressure associated with ET. The diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy must be suspected clinically and not ruled out on the sonographic demonstration of an intrauterine pregnancy. Early diagnosis is essential for the prevention of signi...

In Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Transfer

macrophages" is discussed in the third symposium. Most studies in this section have employed the methodology of DNA labeling, using tritiated thymidine (3H-Tdr) to ascertain whether microglia are related to blood monocytes (as one contributor contends most CNS macrophages are), or whether they represented a "third" glial cell line. Other articles attempt to quantitate neural synapses, to elabor...

In vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.

In vitro fertilization is one of the newest approaches to infertility. Opportunities for nurses in IVF involve teaching couples about physiology, providing technical assistance and care, and counseling about the medical and emotional aspects of the program. Many times the nurse serves as the primary support person for couples and as their advocate with other team members.
