简要总结
Single embryo transfer (SET) has been advocated as a means of reducing the risk of multiple pregnancies, but has meant a reduction in pregnancy risk per embryo transfer. Embryo aneuploidy has been cited as the primary reason for the low embryo implantation achieved in human IVF. In the majority of IVF programs embryo selection has mainly been based on the microscopic assessments embryo. Culturing embryos to the blastocyst stage as a selection mechanism has seen an increase in implantation rates, presumably indicating that morphologically normal blastocysts formed by day 5 of culture may have a reduced aneuploidy rate. Morphological normality does, however, not completely preclude aneuploidy, with many transferred and cryopreserved embryo bearing factors that may hold an increased risk for implantation failure and miscarriage.
To select the conditions for single blastocyst transfer that will significantly improve reproductive outcomes; increased implantation, reduced pregnancy loss and increased live birth rates.
详细描述
Methodology
Patients: Patients less 40 years of age with a normal ovarian reserve (>10 antral follicle count), normal BMI (>18 and <30) and who have had no more than 3 previous IVF cycles consulted to have elective single embryo transfer (eSET) will be presented with the conditions of the trial. Patients that accept the conditions of the trial will be randomly allocated to the two groups of the study; Group 1; no blastocysts (N-blastocyst) aneuploidy screened before vitrification and cryostorage, Group 2; patients will have at least 2 blastocysts biopsied for aCGH aneuploidy screening (S-blastocysts) before all blastocysts, are vitrified and cryostored.
Controlled ovarian stimulation (COS): All patients will be stimulated for multiple follicular development using a fixed antagonist protocol with recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (rFSH) and human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG). Final oocyte maturation will be triggered using a bolus dose of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist.
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI): all oocyte inseminations will be done by ICSI, 2-4 hours after oocyte collection. All resulting 2 pronuclei (PN) zygotes will be cultured to day 5.
Blastocyst scoring and selection; Blastocyst will be scored on 3 criteria; on a scale of 1 (morula/early blastocyst) to 6 (hatched blastocyst) for expansion and on a scale of A to C (A for good, B for fair, and C for poor) for inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE) morphology. Patients to be included in the study must have at least 2 blastocysts with expansion grade 3 on day 5 of culture.
