Abstract

This is a report of our preliminary experience using fibrin sealant with a series of 38 patients undergoing IVF and ET. We used a two-component fibrin sealant to create a fibrin plug in the uterine cavity at the time of ET to decrease the possibility of embryo expulsion and also ectopic pregnancy. Our preliminary report proves that it is possible to obtain 26% pregnancies using this two-component biological glue instead of serum or culture medium for uterine embryo replacement. A prospective randomized study will be undertaken to evaluate whether the use of fibrin sealant could significantly improve IVF and ET results.
