title: Combined intra-uterine and extra-uterine pregnancy in the contralateral tube after gamete intra-fallopian transfer.
abstract: A case of combined intra-uterine and contralateral tubal pregnancy after gamete intra-Fallopian transfer (GIFT) is presented. Laparotomy with partial tubal resection was performed after tubal rupture. The intra-uterine pregnancy is still ongoing without complications. Heterotopic pregnancies are dangerous conditions for the patient and should be taken into account after transfer of multiple oocytes. To our knowledge this is the first report of a heterotopic pregnancy in the contralateral tube after GIFT.
