Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To present the first clinical pregnancy after uterus transplantation. DESIGN:Case study. SETTING:Tertiary center. PATIENT(S):A 23-year-old Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome patient with previous vaginal reconstruction and uterus transplantation. INTERVENTION(S):Eighteen months after the transplant, the endometrium was prepared for transfer of the thawed embryos. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):Implantation of embryo in an allografted human uterus. RESULT(S):The first ET cycle with one day 3 thawed embryo resulted in a biochemical pregnancy. The second ET cycle resulted in a clinical pregnancy confirmed with transvaginal ultrasound visualization of an intrauterine gestational sac with decidualization. CONCLUSION(S):We have presented the first clinical pregnancy in a patient with absolute uterine infertility after uterus allotransplantation. Although the real success is the delivery of a healthy near-term baby, this clinical pregnancy is a great step forward and a proof of concept that the implantation phase works.
