Use of color Doppler sonography during follicular aspiration in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization may reduce the risk of blood vessel injury.
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.
