Heterotopic pregnancy following in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer procedure
Vol 33, Issue 1, 2019
Abstract
To investigate the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of heterotopic pregnancy (HP), a retrospective analysis of the clinical data for in vitro fertilizations and embryo transfer procedures (IVF-ET) was performed at the Hospital of Jilin University. In this case study, the subject was admitted to the hospital for monitoring the IVF-ET results by color Doppler ultrasonography and found to have an intrauterine pregnancy combined with the income of the annex area. Postoperative pathology confirmed the HP. The patient was provided with appropriate expectant management, and finally cesarean section was performed for delivery of a full-term infant. IVF-ET patients should be alerted to the occurrence of HP. If HP is diagnosed, a comprehensive assessment based on the patient’s clinical and extrauterine pregnancy characteristics should be undertaken to determine the treatment plan. Expectant management may also lead to a good outcome for mother and infant.
