Is expectant management feasible for select patients diagnosed with a heterotopic tubal pregnancy following in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection?
Expectant management was an option for select women with HTP. The prognoses of the concomitant eutopic pregnancies were comparable to those of the solely eutopic singleton pregnancies and the HTPs managed surgically. The application of this protocol in clinical practice significantly reduces the need for surgical or medical treatment of EP. Notably, close follow-up is required, and patients need to be vigilant and have immediate access to medical resources in case of an emergency.
