Impact of Hysteroscopic Instillation of Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma on Pregnancy Outcomes in Patient With Recurrent Implantation Failure: A Case Report

Recent advancements in assisted reproductive technology (ART) have enabled couples to achieve pregnancy, who were previously unable to conceive. However, recurrent implantation failure (RIF) remains a significant challenge. This case study exhibits the effective use of hysteroscopic-guided platelet-rich plasma (PRP) instillation in the treatment of a female patient aged 33 who was nulliparous and diagnosed with RIF and a thin endometrium, which resulted in primary infertility. The couple had a history of 10 years of infertility and had previously undergone ART procedures, including intrauterine insemination (IUI) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), which failed. The female partner was diagnosed with a thin endometrium (<7 mm) and underwent hysteroscopy, revealing no other significant intrauterine pathologies. Following hormonal treatment and ovum pick-up, hysteroscopic PRP was administered, resulting in improved endometrial thickness (ET) and successful embryo implantation, as evidenced by a positive serum β-hCG level of 1470 mIU/mL. This case demonstrates the hysteroscopic injection of PRP's potential for increasing endometrial receptivity and enhancing ART outcomes in women with RIF due to thin endometrium, making it a promising alternative to conventional therapies.

Abstract

Recent advancements in assisted reproductive technology (ART) have enabled couples to achieve pregnancy, who were previously unable to conceive. However, recurrent implantation failure (RIF) remains a significant challenge. This case study exhibits the effective use of hysteroscopic-guided platelet-rich plasma (PRP) instillation in the treatment of a female patient aged 33 who was nulliparous and diagnosed with RIF and a thin endometrium, which resulted in primary infertility. The couple had a history of 10 years of infertility and had previously undergone ART procedures, including intrauterine insemination (IUI) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), which failed. The female partner was diagnosed with a thin endometrium (<7 mm) and underwent hysteroscopy, revealing no other significant intrauterine pathologies. Following hormonal treatment and ovum pick-up, hysteroscopic PRP was administered, resulting in improved endometrial thickness (ET) and successful embryo implantation, as evidenced by a positive serum β-hCG level of 1470 mIU/mL. This case demonstrates the hysteroscopic injection of PRP's potential for increasing endometrial receptivity and enhancing ART outcomes in women with RIF due to thin endometrium, making it a promising alternative to conventional therapies.
