IVF Treatment and Single Embryo Transfer
IVF has been described as one the medical breakthroughs of the 20 th Century. Over 5 million children have been born using the methods first developed by Robert Edwards who died last year.

متن کاملEconomic evaluations of single- versus double-embryo transfer in IVF.
Multiple pregnancies lead to complications and induce high costs. The most successful way to decrease multiple pregnancies in IVF is to transfer only one embryo, which might reduce the efficacy of treatment. The objective of this review is to determine which embryo-transfer policy is most cost-effective: elective single-embryo transfer (eSET) or double-embryo transfer (DET). Several databases w...
متن کاملSingle embryo transfer in IVF to prevent multiple pregnancies.
As the success rates of IVF clinics improve, one of the adverse consequences is the increased incidence of twins, due largely to the number of embryos transferred. Even if the number of embryos transferred is restricted to two, the twinning rate can exceed 40% of the pregnancies. An obvious way to reduce this high twin rate would be to transfer only one embryo. This would require that cryoprese...
متن کاملSingle embryo transfer and IVF/ICSI outcome: a balanced appraisal.
This review considers the value of single embryo transfer (SET) to prevent multiple pregnancies (MP) after IVF/ICSI. The incidence of MP (twins and higher order pregnancies) after IVF/ICSI is much higher (approximately 30%) than after natural conception (approximately 1%). Approximately half of all the neonates are multiples. The obstetric, neonatal and long-term consequences for the health of ...
متن کاملComparison of elective single cleavage-embryo transfer to elective single blastocyst-embryo transfer in human IVF-ET
OBJECTIVE This study was carried out to compare the clinical outcome of elective single cleavage-embryo transfer (eSCET) to that of elective single blastocyst-embryo transfer (eSBET) in human IVF-ET. METHODS This study was a retrospective study which analyzed for 614 women who visited the Daegu Maria Clinic from August 2008 to December 2009. All were under 37 years old and had more than 8 mm ...
