Live Birth from Previously Vitrified Oocytes, After Trophectoderm Biopsy, Revitrification, and Transfer of a Euploid Blastocyst
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our objective is to describe a successful live birth from oocyte vitrification followed by thaw, fertilization, blastocyst culture, trophectoderm biopsy, vitrification, and subsequent thaw. Fifteen mature oocytes were frozen from a patient with uterine factor infertility. Thirteen oocytes survived the thaw, and five underwent trophectoderm biopsy and were refrozen. Three euploid embryos were obtained. A single euploid embryo was transferred in the second thaw cycle to a known recipient leading to the delivery of a normal male infant. This case report is proof of the concept that preimplantation screening and diagnosis is an option for fertility preservation patients.

Live birth after transfer of a twice-vitrified warmed blastocyst that had undergone trophectoderm biopsy.
A 28-year-old patient presented for preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) for family balancing utilizing previously vitrified blastocysts and day-2 embryos. To synchronize endometrial development with the embryos to be transferred, five embryos vitrified on day 2 were warmed 3 days prior to scheduled transfer. Three of them developed to 8-, 8- and 7-cell stages, respectively, and were biopsie...
متن کاملLive births after polar body biopsy and frozen-thawed cleavage stage embryo transfer: case report
Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) or screening (PGS) technology, has emerged and developed in the past few years, benefiting couples as it allows the selection and transfer of healthy embryos during IVF treatments. These techniques can be performed in oocytes (polar-body biopsy) or embryos (blastomere or trophectoderm biopsy). In this case report, we describe the first two live births to...
متن کاملSuccessful implantation and live birth of a healthy boy after triple biopsy and double vitrification of oocyte-embryo-blastocyst
INTRODUCTION Preimplantation genetic diagnosis and/or screening (PGD/PGS) allow the assessment of the genetic health of an embryo before transferring it into the uterus. These techniques require the removal of cellular material (polar bodies, blastomere(s) or trophectoderm cells) in order to perform the proper genetic analysis. We report the implantation and live birth outcome of a vitrified-wa...
متن کاملI-7: Maximizing Pregnancy Rates with The Use of Vitrification and Comprehensive Chromosome Screening
Background: Vitrification and warming of blastocysts is an established procedure for the preservation of embryos during IVF. Vitrification is so successful that it allows for elective single embryo transfer (eSET) to be performed routinely, since the frozen embryos will be available with high implantation potential if the fresh embryo fails. Comprehensive chromosome screening (CCS) is also a pr...
متن کاملI-38: Individualized Controlled Ovarian Stimulation: Matching Protocols with Patient Profile
The aim of all assisted reproductive techniques (ART) is a live birth of a single healthy baby. Many clinical and laboratory strategies can influence the ART clinical outcomes. In this lecture we try to explore the clinical and laboratory strategies to maximize success in ART. Three are the main issues: 1. optimize the number of oocyte retrieved with an individualized controlled ovarian superov...
