Ovarian hyperstimulation during fertility treatments can lead to serious blood clots, including in the superior vena cava. Early diagnosis and preventive measures like heparin are crucial for managing thromboembolic risks in these patients.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Endocrinology
  • Vascular Medicine
  • Thrombosis Research

Background:

  • Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a potential complication of assisted reproductive technologies.
  • Thromboembolic events are a serious concern in patients undergoing fertility treatments.
  • The association between OHSS and venous thromboembolism requires further elucidation.

Observation:

  • Three new cases link superior vena cava (SVC) thrombosis to OHSS and multiple pregnancies.
  • Literature review identified three distinct thromboembolic syndromes associated with OHSS.
  • Low-dose gonadotropins can precipitate arterial embolism; severe OHSS (Grade III) during GnRH analog-aided IVF is linked to late SVC thrombosis.

Findings:

  • Pregnancy is consistently present in these cases; pulmonary complications are rare.

  • Inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis is often late-onset, occurring with pregnancy in women at high thromboembolic risk.
  • Diagnosis relies on clinical assessment, vascular Doppler, and MRI.

    • Implications:

    • Preventing ovarian hyperstimulation is paramount.
    • Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is recommended for thromboembolism prophylaxis when hyperstimulation occurs.
    • Heparinization is the standard curative treatment for diagnosed thrombosis.
