Successful implantation and live birth of a healthy boy after triple biopsy and double vitrification of oocyte-embryo-blastocyst

摘要

IntroductionPreimplantation 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-warmed blastocyst developed after triple biopsy and double vitrification procedures at oocyte, cleavage embryo and blastocyst stage.
