[Uterine Doppler study for pre-implantation prognosis of the embryo].
To assess if a simple US criteria was present allowing pre- and post-implantation evaluation of the quality of the embryo. Measurement of the pulsatility index (PI) of the uterine arteries in association with evaluation of the type of curves was useful for follow-up. PI correlates with the number of follicules, the number of cells at Day 2, and the likelihood of pregnancy whereas the type of curve directly correlates with the appearance of the oocytes and embryo before the transfer. These results should be confirmed by larger studies but they could lead to early detection and a treatment of these abnormalities of vascularization.
