Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to present the first birth of healthy infant born following ICSI using the new permeable cryoprotectant-free sperm vitrification protocol Easy-Sperm®. Principal resultsA 39 years old woman and his 40 years old partner underwent egg donation treatment at IVF-Spain Alicante (Spain). Half of the mature oocytes obtained from a young and healthy donor were fertilized by ICSI, using slow-frozen spermatozoa and the other half with vitrified spermatozoa. A total of 5 blastocysts were obtained on day 5 (3 resulting from vitrified spermatozoa and 2 from frozen sperm). The best embryo, with AA quality (derived from one of the oocytes fertilized with vitrified sperm) was transferred. The woman conceived and, following a normal pregnancy, delivered a healthy boy. ConclusionsTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of a successful pregnancy and delivery of a healthy infant from ICSI with permeable vitrified spermatozoa in an oocyte donation program with transfer on blastocyst stage.
