“…Gamete intraFallopian transfer (GIFT) and zygote intraFallopian transfer (ZIFT) were developed as alternative treatments to IVF in specific circumstances [ 82 , 131 ]. GIFT involves introduction of both egg and sperm in the Fallopian tube where fertilization and subsequent embryo development occurs [ 132 , 133 , 134 , 135 ]. GIFT treatment can be used as a treatment for sperm dysfunction, endometriosis or unknown infertility [ 136 , 137 ], but requires that at least one Fallopian tube is open.…”

Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) have revolutionised reproductive medicine; however, reports assessing the effects of ARTs have raised concerns about the immediate and long-term health outcomes of the children conceived through ARTs. ARTs include manipulations during the periconceptional period, which coincides with an environmentally sensitive period of gamete/embryo development and as such may alter cardiovascular development and health of the offspring in postnatal life. In order to identify the association between ARTs and cardiovascular health outcomes, it is important to understand the events that occur during the periconceptional period and how they are affected by procedures involved in ARTs. This review will highlight the emerging evidence implicating adverse cardiovascular outcomes before and after birth in offspring conceived through ARTs in both human and animal studies. In addition, it will identify the potential underlying causes and molecular mechanisms responsible for the congenital and adult cardiovascular dysfunctions in offspring whom were conceived through ARTs.
