Single-embryo transfer: a key strategy to reduce the risk for multiple pregnancy in assisted human reproduction

In the early days of assisted reproductive technology (ART), the main target was achieving gestation. Success rates were low, and multiple embryo transfers became common practice, with multiple pregnancies being 20 times higher than in natural conception. Multiple pregnancy is associated with a high...
