Heterotopic pregnancy following in vitro fertilization.
We report 4 cases of heterotopic pregnancy following in vitro fertilization. All 4 patients were treated by surgical removal of the ectopic pregnancy products. In 3 patients, the intra-uterine fetus was alive prior to surgery. Two of the 3 gave birth to a healthy baby while the third pregnancy has progressed uneventfully for 12 weeks since the operation.
