Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is characterized by the absence of implantation after high-grade embryos are transferred to the endometrium by at least three in vitro fertilization cycles. It is one of the most important factors contributing to reproductive failure. After numerous barriers have been overcome to obtain good-quality embryos, RIF causes extreme distress and frustration in women and couples. In recent years, significant progress has been made in understanding how inflammatory factors, which include pro-inflammatory factors, anti-inflammatory factors, chemokines, and other molecules, contribute to RIF. Immunological abnormalities, hypercoagulability, and reproductive diseases are considered potential causes of RIF. In alloimmune disorders, inflammatory factors can affect the success rate of embryo implantation by altering T helper (Th)1/Th2 and Th17/regulatory T cell ratios and causing imbalances of uterine natural killer cells and macrophages. Autoimmune disorders can also lead to RIF. Inflammatory factors also play key roles in RIF-related disorders such as hypercoagulability, chronic endometritis, adenomyosis, hydrosalpinx, and endometriosis. This review focuses on the roles of inflammatory factors in RIF, including immune factors, blood hypercoagulable states, and reproductive diseases such as chronic endometritis, adenomyosis, hydrosalpinx, and endometriosis. It also summarizes the different treatments according to the causes of RIF and discusses the efficacy of sirolimus, peripheral blood mononuclear cells, low-dose aspirin combined with low-molecular-weight heparin, blocking interleukin-22, and gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists in the treatment of RIF.
