title: Differential regulation of VEGF after final oocyte maturation with GnRH agonist versus hCG: a rationale for OHSS reduction.
abstract: In a prospective cohort study, we compared the effect of hCG and GnRH agonist triggering of final oocyte maturation on vascular endothelial growth factor production. Vascular endothelial growth factor follicular fluid concentration was significantly lower in response to GnRH agonist versus hCG, which may partially explain the absence of OHSS in these of women.
