Overview
Many factors influence the success of infertility treatment by IVF/ET method. Implantation is the crucial moment for the clinical pregnancy. One proposed strategy involves enhancement of blood flow at the implantation site with the use of low‑dose acetylsalicylic acid. The purpose of this review is to determine the effect of this approach on the pregnancy rate in women undergoing IVF/ICSI cycles.
Key words:
implantation – acetylsalicylic acid – in vitro fertilization
