Pregnancy after percutaneous transvesical ultrasound-guided follicle aspiration for in-vitro fertilization.
A case, in which pregnancy (unfortunately ectopic) followed oocyte collection by an ultrasound technique, is reported. Nevertheless, the procedure is less invasive than laparoscopic follicular aspiration, does not require general or major regional anaesthesia, and is suitable for patients in whom access to the ovaries by means of laparoscopy is either not possible or severely restricted.
