Background:In this study, we aimed to investigate the ability of transvaginal Doppler ultrasonography in predicting in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcome in women undergoing this procedure.Materials and Methods:In this prospective observational study, 65 infertile women underwent IVF procedure in Isfahan, during 2013-2014, were studied. The pulsatility index (PI), resistive index (RI) and peak systolic velocity (PSV) of the uterine arteries and arcuate arteries were measured in all selected women using transvaginal color and pulsed Doppler measurements on the day of human chorionic gonadotrophin injection. The women followed up for the primary endpoint which was a successful pregnancy. The mean of PI, RI, and PSV were compared in groups of women who had successful IVF and not. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the predictive value of studied indices.Results:In this study, from 65 women, 32 (49.2%) and 33 (50.8%) have successful and unsuccessful IVF outcome, respectively. The mean of PI and RI of both uterine and arcuate arteries were significantly lower in pregnant women than non-pregnant ones (P < 0.001). The area under the ROC curve of PI (84.7%) and RI (84.4%) for uterine arteries was higher than other indices. The most accurate indices for predicting the outcome of IVF was RI of uterine arteries with an accuracy of 81.5%.Conclusion:The findings of this study indicated that PI and RI assessments of uterine arteries could be used as a routine non-invasive factor, before hCG stimulation, for predicting the outcome of IVF.

“…Other authors [19] investigated a possible marker to predict a fertile cycle by comparing uterine and ovarian blood flow in the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle in women who conceived and women who did not conceive during that cycle. Others [20] studied the possible predictivity of intraovarian artery Doppler indices on pregnancy outcomes. However, there are some considerations whose make our study different.…”

Our aim was to assess the velocimetric pattern of the ovarian artery as a possible marker of LH surge in stimulated cycles. A total of 130 women undergoing ovarian stimulation for intrauterine insemination were randomized in two groups. Each woman was stimulated with 75 IU of recombinant FSH starting from the third day of the cycle. Velocimetric indices of the dominant ovarian artery were compared between patients with spontaneous LH surge and those needing HCG administration to trigger dominant follicle rupture. The pulsatility index and the ratio between peak systolic flow and lowest diastolic flow were significantly higher in women that had a spontaneous triggering of ovulation. These parameters had a high and very significant positive correlation with the dosage of luteinizing hormone. Threshold values of 2.60 for PI and 7.68 for S/D had a high sensitivity and specificity to predict LH surge. These velocimetric results demonstrated that an increased resistance in the dominant ovarian artery is correlated to LH surge in stimulated cycles. It may represent a sign of relevant clinical utility in timing of intrauterine insemination and/or natural intercourse.

“…Na medicina humana, problemas similares são encontrados em mulheres inférteis submetidas ao tratamento com gonadotrofinas para a fertilização in vitro (FIV) e programas de TE, mostrando a baixa previsibilidade das taxas de concepção, principalmente devido a variações na receptividade uterina (COULAM et al, 1994;STEER et al, 1995;CACCIATORE et al, 1996;GROUTZ et al, 1997;TOHMA et al, 1997;CHIEN et al, 2002;ADAKAN et al, 2005;LILIC et al, 2007). Diversos parâmetros têm sido propostos para a avaliação da receptividade endometrial em mulheres, incluindo a espessura endometrial, o padrão endometrial e o fluxo sangüíneo endometrial e subendometrial (COULAM et al, 1994;APPLEBAUM, 1995;ZAIDI et al, 1995;REMOHI et al, 1997;SUNDSTROM, 1998;BOURGAIN et al, 2003).…”
