By: MedVacation A large number of unsuccessful IVF cycles can be attributed to the presence of numerical chromosomal abnormalities. Embryos derived from defective or aneuploid gametes stand little chance of forming a viable pregnancy. Consequently, screening of embryos for chromosome abnormalities prior to embryo transfer can significantly improve pregnancy rates, decrease miscarriage rates, as well as reduce the risk of having a child with syndrome such as Down or Turner. For over a decade, IVF clinics have relied on the Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis test to identify aneuploid embryos. However, PGD testing (http://www.themedvacation.com/ The recently developed Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) method allows our geneticists to identify the most viable euploid embryos. The process, however, is rather complex. The embryologists must obtain more than one cell for genetic analysis using CCS. This is possible only in later blastocyst stage. Difficulties arise when geneticists have to perform cell analysis which takes longer than six hours to complete. To overcome this problem, embryologists put blastocysts into a state of suspended development until genetic lab results become available. This is done by way of Vitrification, a rapid freezing and cryopreservation technique recently developed in Japan. Although CCS is still experimental and undergoing clinical trials, the few IVF clinics (http://www.themedvacation.com/ # # # MedVacation is a Denver-based premier medical tourism service provider that offers high quality procedures at a 30-50% discount compared to procedures performed in the U.S. The company offers full service, door-to-door medical procedure-based trips for clients who wish to receive healthcare services equivalent to U.S.-quality treatments for a fraction of the cost.
