Abstract
The diffusion of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and of the transfer of the gamete into the Fallopian tube (GIFT) persuaded the Authors to examine attentively the possible problems arising from these induced pregnancies. From July 1986 until December 1990, 80 pregnancies induced with IVF-ET and/or GIFT (49 singletons, 28 twins, 2 triplets and 1 quadruplet) were monitored. The Authors discuss both the maternal and the fetal complications. The data which emerge from the study suggest that these patients should be monitored attentively during the entire gestational period because induced pregnancies with assisted procreation should be considered 'high risk pregnancies' even if these risks are only potential.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
