Summary
Each patient seeking assisted reproduction has a unique set of circumstances that affects the outcome of treatment.
Particularly challenging are those patients with pre-existing medical conditions or those receiving medical therapies
that may impact the safety and success of their IVF treatments. Prior identification and preparation of the patient at
increased risk of complications will enable the clinician to avoid problems in advance, anticipate the necessary
management, and optimize outcomes. A new expanded edition of the prize-winning text IVF in the Medically Complicated
Patient: A Guide to Management, Second Edition provides a readily accessible, authoritative, and didactic source of
information to aid clinicians in this important field.
