“…Cabergoline has been reported to effectively prevent OHSS in high-risk patients. Although several studies showed that cabergoline prevented the occurrence of OHSS [7,39], in one study 11.4 % of patients developed severe OHSS [4]. Even if cabergoline was combined with coasting, severe OHSS still occurred in patients with extremely high serum E 2 levels (>9,000 pg/ml) [31].…”

Several studies have shown that cabergoline, which antagonizes VEGF effect on vascular permeability, effectively prevented OHSS [2][3][4]. We report two patients at high risk for OHSS who developed the complication despite undergoing combined treatment with coasting and cabergoline.…”
