Successful management of a triplet heterotopic caesarean scar pregnancy after in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer.

OBJECTIVE To report a case of a triplet heterotopic caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) with two gestational sacs implanted in the caesarean scar after in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer. DESIGN Case report. SETTINGS Private reproductive medicine center and obstetric department of a university hospital.

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...

Trichorionic and dichorionic triplet pregnancies at 10-14 weeks: outcome after embryo reduction compared to expectant management.

OBJECTIVE To compare the outcome of trichorionic triplet (TCT) and dichorionic triplet (DCT) pregnancies managed expectantly and those with embryo reduction (ER) at 10-14 weeks to twins or singletons. METHODS This was a retrospective study of triplet pregnancies with 3 live fetuses managed expectantly or by ER. Data were combined with the results of previous studies that used similar entry cr...

Interstitial Pregnancy after In Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Transfer Following Bilateral Salpingectomy:Report of Two Cases and Literature Review

The effect of varicocele ligation on oocyte fertilization and pregnancy after failure of fertilization in in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer.

Although varicocelectomy is generally believed to improve semen quality and the hamster egg penetration assay, these parameters do not correlate well with in vitro fertilization (IVF) success. The effect of varicocelectomy on IVF of human oocytes was examined on thirteen couples with normal female fertility, but severe oligozoospermia and the presence varicocele in the males with failure of fer...
