Alert for heterotopic pregnancy Reply of the Author

摘要

I would like to thank Dr. Reyftmann and colleagues for their interest in our article "Heterotopic pregnancy: two cases and a comparative review" (1). I do appreciate their kind words and comments.As they point out, when considering gestations after assisted reproduction treatment, the suspicion level for heterotopic pregnancies should be higher. However, it is of note that, even with a high index of suspicion, the diagnosis of heterotopic pregnancy is not easy. The data reported in our article suggest that transvaginal ultrasound may not be a reliable tool in diagnosing an ectopic pregnancy with concomitant ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
