title: Ultrasound-guided embryo transfer: a controlled trial.
abstract: Embryo transfer (ET) was performed in 94 patients using transvaginal ultrasound guidance. Pregnancy rates were increased over a control group of 246 patients, although statistical significance was reached only in the subgroup of single ETs. Advantages over the traditional blind technique of ET were observed. Acceptance of the procedure by both clinicians and patients was high.
