Peculiarities of high-risk pregnancy management after the IVF procedure: a clinical observation report

Abstract

This article presents an annotation and discussion of our own clinical observation of a high-risk multiple pregnancy after in vitro fertilization in a patient with tuboperitoneal infertility. We report a case of early prenatal diagnosis of a rare malformation of a single fetus in dichorionic twin pregnancy (pentalogy of Cantrell). The feasibility of cumulative assessment of the risks of assisted reproductive technology complications to determine the tactics of management and intensive observation during pregnancy, as well as the use of invasive intrauterine interventions for multiple pregnancy to reduce perinatal risks is discussed.
