Cumulative Live Birth Rates in Patients With Repeated Implantation Failure (RIF) Undergoing Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS )

December 22, 2016 updated by: Marta Devesa, Institut Universitari Dexeus

This is a single centre retrospective study in repeated implantation failure patients: < 39 years old, at least 4 D3 good quality embryos or 2 good quality blastocysts transferred without implantation, absence of known causes of implantation failures (uterine malformation, thrombophilia, severe male factor, uncontrolled thyroid disfunction, autoimmune disease).

Patients scheduled for PGS underwent one or more stimulation cycles (oocyte or blastocyst banking) in order to maximize chances of embryo transfer. PGS cycles are analyzed globally. Aditionally, PGS cycles with a single stimulation cycle are analyzed in comparison to standard IVF cycles.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
PGS
Patients with RIF scheduled for PGS (Preimplantation Genetic Screening) with trophectoderm biopsy using arrays comparative genomic hybridation (aCGH) underwent one or more stimulation cycles. If euploid blastocysts were available, patients underwent frozen embryo transfer/s.
PGS (Preimplantation Genetic Screening) with trophectoderm biopsy using arrays comparative genomic hybridizatioon (aCGH)
Standard IVF
Patients with RIF scheduled for standard IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) underwent a single stimulation cycle with the fresh embryo transfer and the subsequent frozen embryo transfers if there were surplus frozen embryos and the fresh embryo transfer was unsuccessful.
