Abstract
There are numerous reports of successful pregnancy following liver transpla ntation. Little information is available regarding the incidence and manage ment of infertility in transplant recipients, particularly the use of artif icial reproductive technologies. We present a case of a successful twin pre gnancy resulting from in-vitro fertilization with intracytoplasmic sperm in jection (IVF/ICSI) in a liver transplant recipient, whose partner was a ren al transplant recipient with severe oligozoospermia. With careful evaluatio n and monitoring, and the involvement of appropriate consultants, artificia l reproductive technologies can be safely used in transplant recipient coup les experiencing infertility.
