摘要
Objective: To describe a successful pregnancy and delivery after calcium ionophore oocyte activation in a normozoospermic patient with previous repeated failed fertilization after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Design: Case report. Setting: In vitro fertilization unit in a university affiliated medical center. Patient(s): A couple with 5 years of unexplained primary infertility who had repeated failed fertilization after ICSI. Intervention(s): Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation, oocyte pick-up, ICSI, assisted oocyte activation with calcium ionophore, embryo culture, and ET. Main Outcome Measure(s): Fertilization rate, implantation, pregnancy, and delivery. Result(s): Assisted oocyte activation with calcium ionophore A23187 after ICSI resulted in reasonable fertilization rates in three cycles (4/6, 5/16 and 7/20 oocytes). Two pregnancies were achieved; the first ended with second trimester miscarriage due to fetal anomaly and the second with a delivery of three healthy babies. Conclusion(s): Calcium ionophore oocyte activation seems to be a useful method in cases of repeated failed fertilization after ICSI.
