Platelet-Rich plasma as an effective alternative approach for improving endometrial receptivity - a clinical retrospective study

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present case series was to describe our experience with the use of PRP on patients with refractory thin endometria. METHODS: This retrospective analysis included 24 IVF cycles in which patients presenting different infertility factors received intrauterine PRP infusion prior to embryo transfer. Outcomes of interest were: clinical and ongoing pregnancies, miscarriages, and births. RESULTS: 54% of the cycles in which PRP was employed resulted in ongoing gestation or birth; 12.5% of the cycles ended in miscarriages. CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that PRP improves intrauterine receptivity to embryo implantation, regardless of whether the endometrium reached the appropriate growth for embryo transfer.
