Key result
Assisted reproductive technology in patients with medical comorbidities requires careful multidisciplinary management to mitigate increased risks of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, cardiovascular complications, and venous thromboembolism.
Why the study?
Healthcare practitioners across specialties increasingly encounter patients who have had assisted reproductive technology, but education regarding fertility techniques is lacking at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
This review emphasizes the need for multidisciplinary pre-conception counseling and risk assessment, particularly regarding cardiovascular and thromboembolic risks, for medically complex patients undergoing fertility treatments.
The use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) has dramatically changed the landscape for treatment of infertility. Increasingly, healthcare practitioners of all specialisms are likely to encounter patients who have had ART, and therefore are expected to have knowledge of this area and counsel patients appropriately. There is, however, a lack of education about fertility techniques at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. Here we outline the main treatment options available to those undergoing ART, and the key considerations relevant to specialty physicians.

Uppal et al. (2025) conducted a review in Infertility in patients with medical conditions. Assisted reproductive technology (ART) was evaluated. Assisted reproductive technology in patients with medical comorbidities requires careful multidisciplinary management to mitigate increased risks of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, cardiovascular complications, and venous thromboembolism.
