Rescue ICSI of unfertilized oocytes after IVF.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Failed fertilization after IVF occurs in 10-20% of cycles. Conflicting results of rescue fertilization by ICSI have been reported. We therefore compared the success rate in terms of fertilization and pregnancy of cycles in which rescue ICSI was performed with those from a matched control group of primarily ICSI cycles. METHODS Unfertilized oocytes from IVF cycles with total fertilization failure where at least four metaphase II oocytes were available were treated by ICSI (group I; n = 120). A matched control group was established with patients undergoing ICSI during the same period (group II; n = 280). RESULTS Both fertilization rate and the proportion of embryos with four blastomeres on day 2 after ICSI were significantly higher in the control group (P < 0.05). Embryo quality, however, was comparable in both groups. The pregnancy rate in the control group was 25.3% whereas in group I with rescue ICSI, no pregnancy was obtained. CONCLUSIONS Although unfertilized oocytes after IVF can be fertilized by ICSI, the developmental potential of the ensuing embryos is very poor. Therefore, rescue ICSI after total failure of fertilization is not recommended.

Efficacy of rescue ICSI after total fertilization failure in conventional IVF
Partial or complete fertilization failure after IVF was reported in 5-10% of cycles. Total fertilization failure in patients with normal sperm parameters is rare but very stressful incident after IVF. To rescue the IVF cycles after total fertilization failure, ICSI of unfertilized oocytes after initial insemination has been reported.We reviewed a 2 years experience of rescue ICSI and analyzed t...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the presence of programmed cell death in unfertilized oocytes after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), assuming that previous apoptotic events could be correlated with the fertilization failure. DESIGN Comparison of the rate of DNA fragmentation in human oocytes at different stages of maturation soon after pick-up (control) and in unfertilized oocytes after ICSI...
متن کاملRescue ICSI revisited
ICSI was ®rst applied in cases of severe male factor infertility in which conventional IVF would be expected to fail or to give poor outcomes (Van Steirteghem et al., 1993). More recently, however, ICSI has been increasingly used in cases in which conventional IVF would not necessarily be inef®cient. In such cases, ICSI is often preferred because of its reliability in terms of achieving high fe...
متن کاملRate of Cumulus Cell Apoptosis from Fertilized and Unfertilized Oocytes and Acid Phosphatase Levels in Follicular Fluids after Intracytopasmic Sperm Injection
The main role of cumulus cells (CC) is to provide nutritious materials for developing oocytes. Follicular fluid (FF) contains the enzyme acid phosphatase, which plays a role in ovulation and fertilization of oocyte. The objective of this prospective study was to evaluate the levels of acid phosphatase in FF and the rate of apoptosis in CC of fertilized and unfertilized oocytes in intracytoplasm...
متن کاملThe chromosomal constitution of embryos developing from abnormally fertilized oocytes after intracytoplasmic sperm injection and conventional in-vitro fertilization.
The aim of this study was to analyse the chromosomal constitution of embryos developing from mono- (1PN) and tripronuclear (3PN) oocytes, after in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) into oocytes, by means of the fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH) technique with specific probes for the chromosomes X, Y and 18. FISH analysis was carried out on embryo...
