Rationale:The current literature has a surprising controversy regarding the use of low-dose human chorionic gonadotropin(hCG)for luteal support as an explanation for the development of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome,and this is because of the gap in the listing of the predisposing factors that put women at an increased risk of ovarian hyperstimulation *** concerns:A case of 25-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain,distention,dyspnea,and nausea with a 6.5 kg increase in weight from *** examination showed bilaterally enlarged multicystic ovaries after gonadotropin-releasing hormone(GnRH)agonist triggering and cycle segmentation with no hCG rescue ***:Moderate/severe ovarian hyperstimulation ***:The woman was admitted to the hospital for medical management of moderate/severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome,and pain management was advanced to patient-controlled anesthesia with the start of low molecular weight *** day 2,albumin therapy followed by a furosemide chase was started due to an increase in abdominal *** day 1,Cabergoline was maintained,and on day 2 the GnRH antagonist Cetrorelix was ***:The woman’s clinical condition improved,and a clinical pregnancy was eventually achieved during the first cryo-warmed blastocyst ***:Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome can still happen even after the use of GnRH agonist and avoidance of hCG *** of in vitro fertilization with complete avoidance of hCG for luteal support remains the best approach.

AIM: To report the safety of continued use of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) during pregnancy at various maternal ***: A retrospective chart review of pregnant patients who underwent ERCP at a tertiary academic center was undertaken between 2002 and 2012. Pertinent past medical history and initial presenting laboratory data were collected. Review of the procedure note for each ERCP performed provided documentation of lead shielding, type of sedation, fluoroscopy time, and post-procedure complications. Patients' clinical courses were reviewed until the time of delivery and pregnancy complications with fetal outcomes were examined. Data was stratified based upon the mother's age at the time of ERCP: 18-21, 22-29, and ≥ 30 years of ***: Twenty pregnant patients who underwent ERCP between 2002 and 2012 were identified. The mean age at the time of ERCP was 26.4 years(18-38 years) and the average trimester was the second. The indications for ERCP were choledocholithiasis in 17 patients, gallstone pancreatitis in 2 patients, and cholangitis in 1 patient. The mean fluoroscopy time of ERCP was 3.8 min(0.3-23.6 min). sphincterotomy was performed in 18 patients with therapeutic intent and not as a prophylactic measure to prevent recurrences. Clinical documentation of use of protective shielding was found in only 8 notes(40%). Post procedure complications were limited to two cases of post-ERCP pancreatitis(10%). Elective cholecystectomy was performed shortly after ERCP in 11 of the pregnant patients. Birth records were available for 16 patients, of which 15 had fullterm pregnancies. Cesarean sections were performed in 5(31%) patients. Term birth weight was greater than 2500 g in all cases except one in which the mother had a known hypercoagulable state. CONCLUsION: ERCP during pregnancy is both safe and efficacious regardless of maternal age or trimester.
