Progress in Diagnosis and Treatment of Heterotopic Pregnancy

doi:10.12280/gjszjk.20200139

Abstract

Abstract:

Heterotopic pregnancy is a kind of pathological pregnancy of the intrauterine pregnancy with simultaneous ectopic pregnancy. The incidence of heterotopic pregnancy is rare in natural condition, about 1/30 000. However, with the application of assisted reproduction, the incidence of complex pregnancy has increased year by year. The intrauterine fetus is precious for those patients with heterotopic pregnancy. How to diagnose and treat the intrauterine fetus accurately is of great significance. However, due to the interference of intrauterine pregnancy, the difficulty of the diagnosis of simultaneous ectopic pregnancy is increased. The misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis of heterotopic pregnancy is common, which seriously threatens the health of mother and child. There is no consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of heterotopic pregnancy. The clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of heterotopic pregnancy, as well as the research progress, were summarized in this review.

Key words: Pregnancy, heterotopic, Pregnancy, ectopic, Reproductive techniques, assisted, Laparoscopy, Diagnosis, Therapy, Pregnancy outcome
