The Effect of Fat Emulsion Intralipid 20% in Reproductive Outcome for Patients With Multiple Implantation Failure

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of fat emulsion intralipid 20% on reproductive outcome of patients with multiple implantation failure (MIF).
A retrospective study of 30 women with MIF who received intralipid 20% with in vitro fertilization, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF-ICSI). The treatment cycle was conducted in reproductive endocrine and infertility medicine department (REIMD) at Women Specialized Hospital, King Fahad Medical City (KFMC), from January 2015 to December 2016.
Thirteen of 30 women (43.3%) had a positive pregnancy test and 17 (56.7%) did not. Pregnancy rate showed no statistically significant difference with the use of long protocol in comparison to short antagonist protocol. Use of intralipid 20% did not affect the embryo grading or yield the higher number of frozen embryos.
MIF is a challenging situation in reproductive medicine. Intralipid 20% might be an effective treatment for patients with MIF.
