Abstract：
:The aim of this study was to compare the clinical performance of Wallace and Labotect embryo transfer catheters in a single assisted reproduction centre. A total of 260 women undergoing embryo transfer were randomized between Wallace and Labotect catheters. When both catheters failed to negotiate the cervical canal, the transfer was accomplished with a stiff catheter. Intention to treat analysis revealed that Wallace and Labotect embryo transfer catheters yielded statistically similar clinical pregnancy (44.6 versus 34.6%), implantation (23.2 versus 18.9%) and ongoing pregnancy (38.5 versus 27.7%) rates. As treated analysis revealed clinical pregnancy rates of 42.5 versus 35.4%, implantation rates of 22.3 versus 20.6% and ongoing pregnancy rates of 36.8 versus 28.3% with Wallace and Labotect catheters respectively. Catheter change due to unsuccessful negotiation of the internal cervical os was significantly more frequently necessary when embryo transfer was first intended with the Wallace than the Labotect catheter (P < 0.001; 33 and 2% respectively). Although not being statistically significant, the observed differences may be regarded as clinically important and may reach statistical significance in larger trials. More trials are necessary before reaching a definitive conclusion regarding the performance of the Labotect embryo transfer catheter.
