Pregnancies and deliveries after injection of vitrified-warmed oocytes with cryopreserved testicular sperm

Fertil Steril. 2010 Dec;94(7):2927-9. doi: 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2010.06.080. Epub 2010 Aug 1.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to report successful pregnancies and deliveries from embryos derived from vitrified-warmed oocytes injected with frozen-thawed testicular sperm. After the vitrification-warming procedure, surviving oocytes from 11 patients were microinjected with thawed testicular spermatozoa, and subsequent viable cleaving embryos were transferred, resulting in four clinical pregnancies.
