Key result
A 37-year-old woman developed right internal jugular vein thrombosis 3 weeks after embryo transfer during an IVF protocol, highlighting the risk of thrombosis associated with assisted reproductive technologies.
Why the study?
The risk of venous thromboembolic complications related to ovarian hyperstimulation during assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF is often overlooked.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Ovarian hyperstimulation during IVF can provoke procoagulant changes leading to venous thrombosis, highlighting the need for thrombophilia screening and appropriate thromboprophylaxis in high-risk patients.
