In what doctors Tuesday Jan 29,2013 said was a medical first, an Argentine woman with a transplanted heart has given birth to a baby girl following an in vitro fertilisation
Pregnancy after an organ transplant is always a
high risk proposition because the drugs needed to ensure the
transplanted organ is not rejected make pregnancy difficult, and their
effects on the fetus are not clear.
"There
is no record in the world of a transplant patient who has achieved
pregnancy through in vitro fertilization," said Gustavo Leguizamon, head
of the high risk pregnancy centre in Buenos Aires, where the treatment
was performed.
