Original Title:
Μαιευτικές επιπλοκές σε κυήσεις που επιτεύχθηκαν μετά από εξωσωματική γονιμοποίηση (IVF)
Summary:
The implementation of IVF has undoubtedly helped the treatment of infertility
and the acquisition of the desired result.The purpose of this thesis is to
review all obstetric complications associated with the application of in vitro
fertilization as well as possible methods and strategies for their
prevention.The reasons for this observed increase in the risk of adverse
reproductive outcomes are unclear. It is not know whether it is the technology
(hormonal stimulation, gamete manipulation, cryopreservation and in vitro
culture) or the underlying maternal factors which play a greater role in
causing adverse outcomes. While some studies have pointed out a role for
controlled ovarian hyperstimulation or cryopreservation in altering pregnancy
outcome and others have suggested that maternal factors such as age, medical
conditions or cause of subfertility are more important determinants
As shown, obstetric complications in singleton pregnancies from IVF comprise
early pregnancy loss, spontaneous abortion, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome
(OHSS) and ectopic pregnancy. Furthermore, hypertension in pregnancy-
preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, preterm birth, low birth weight
infants (LBW) as well as small for gestational age (SGA) and intrauterine
growth restriction neonates (IUGR) constitute obstetric complications after
IVF. Main complication of in vitro fertilization is multiple pregnancies in
which the rate will be increased. In addition, there are long term effects of
IVF which seam to affect both child and mother.
