A superior mesenteric vein thrombosis associated with in vitro fertilization

Assisted reproductive techniques in a patient with history of venous thromboembolism: A case report and review of literature

“…A relationship between ovarian stimulation and thrombosis was first suggested in 1965,[ 5 ] and following this, over 100 publications have reported the same complication. [ 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 ] Large-cohort studies have reported increased risk of VTE throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period in IVF pregnancies, though the absolute numbers are low. [ 15 16 17 ] A recent systematic review has confirmed that the antepartum risk of VTE after IVF is doubled (odds ratio, 2.18; 95% confidence interval, 1.63–2.92) in comparison with the background normal pregnant population.…”

First case with antithrombin deficiency, mesenteric vein thrombosis and pregnancy: Multidisciplinary diagnosis and successful management

“…Management can be conservative with anticoagulation, control of the clinical course and repeated ultrasound scans under absence of ischemia [4]. The literature describes 3 cases of pregnant patients with MVT without mesenteric ischemia managed conservatively [7,9,10]. In all three cases, the pregnancy comes to term.…”

Risk of thrombosis in women with malignancies undergoing ovarian stimulation for fertility preservation

“…Following this first case, a number of papers have reported this complication and .100 cases have been published (Stewart et al, 1997;Rao et al, 2005;Chan and Ginsberg, 2006;Chan and Dixon, 2008;Chan, 2009;Chipwete et al, 2009;Nelson, 2009;Seong et al, 2010;Dorais et al, 2011;Fleming et al, 2012;Mmbaga et al, 2012;Meshksar et al, 2013). In recent years, some reviews of the literature have tried to draw some information from a global analysis of all these reported cases (Stewart et al, 1997;Rao et al, 2005;Chan and Ginsberg, 2006;Chan and Dixon, 2008;Chan, 2009;Nelson, 2009).…”
