title: Use of color Doppler sonography during follicular aspiration in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization may reduce the risk of blood vessel injury.
abstract: The use of color Doppler to identify small blood vessels (diameter: 0.68 +/- 0.17 mm to 2.28 +/- 0.81 mm; peak systolic velocity: 10.3 +/- 4.15 cm/s to 25.15 +/- 7.68 cm/s) during follicular aspiration may reduce patient's morbidity.
