Abstract
A case of combined intra-uterine and contralateral tubal pregnancy aft er gamete intra-Fallopian transfer (GIFT) is presented. Laparotomy wit h partial tubal resection was performed after tubal rupture. The intra -uterine pregnancy is still ongoing without complications. Heterotopic pregnancies are dangerous conditions for the patient and should be ta ken into account after transfer of multiple oocytes. To our knowledge this is the first report of a heterotopic pregnancy in the contralater al tube after GIFT.
