TLDR
In this article, the authors reported an incidence more than three times greater (5 tubal ectopic pregnancies in 80 clinical in vitro fertilization pregnancies) than the overall risk of around 2% ectopic pregnancy.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Embryo transfer: techniques and variables affecting success
TL;DR: An understanding of the variables associated with embryo transfer success together with adherence to techniques shown to facilitate atraumatic embryo transfer will enhance the efficiency of IVF by maximizing embryo implantation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Embryo transfer--can we learn anything new from the observation of junctional zone contractions?
TL;DR: The study confirms that the mechanical activity of the uterus is capable of relocating intrauterine embryos and that this activity depends on physical stimulation and that junctional zone contractions can be implicated in cases of IVF/embryo transfer failure or ectopic gestation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk factors for ectopic pregnancy in assisted reproduction
TL;DR: Tubal factor infertility was the most prominent risk factor for EP after IVF, and previous myomectomy appeared to be another important risk factor, but this is a new finding that needs to be confirmed by further study.

The influence of the depth of embryo replacement into the uterine cavity on implantation rates after IVF: a controlled, ultrasound‐guided study
Buenaventura Coroleu,Pedro N. Barri,O. Carreras,Francisca Martínez,Mònica Parriego,Lourdes Hereter,Nuria Parera,Anna Veiga,Juan Balasch +8 more
TL;DR: The depth of the embryo replacement into the uterine cavity may influence implantation rates, and thus it should be considered as an additional procedure among factors recently proposed as associated with successful embryo transfer after IVF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soft versus firm embryo transfer catheters for assisted reproduction: a systematic review and meta-analysis
TL;DR: Using soft embryo transfer catheters for embryo transfer results in a significantly higher pregnancy rate as compared to firm catheter, as well as a statistically significantly increased chance of clinical pregnancy following embryo transfer.

The world collaborative report on in vitro fertilization and embryo replacement: current state of the art in January 1984.
TL;DR: Results of this collaborative study show that in vitro fertilization is widely accepted as a method for the treatment of infertility and does not carry a higher than normal risk of fetal abnormalities.
Journal ArticleDOI
An unexpectedly high rate of ectopic pregnancy following the induction of ovulation with human pituitary and chorionic gonadotrophin.
TL;DR: There was an association between ectopic pregnancy and elevated urinary oestrogen excretion in the peri‐ovulatory phases of the induced ovulatory cycles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterotopic pregnancy from in vitro fertilization.
TL;DR: A case of heterotopic or combined intrauterine and tubal ectopic pregnancy is described following in vitro fertilization and the transfer of five four-cell embryos.

In-vitro fertilization in Western Australia. A viable service programme
TL;DR: The results of the first eight months of the service programme of in‐vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET) in Western Australia are presented, during which 13 further pregnancies were generated and 10 healthy infants were delivered.
