A technique that came into use in the mid-1980's for assisted conception in infertile women with normal fallopian tubes. The protocol consists of hormonal stimulation of the ovaries, followed by laparoscopic follicular aspiration of oocytes, and then the transfer of sperm and oocytes by catheterization into the fallopian tubes.
A technique in assisted reproduction (REPRODUCTIVE TECHNIQUES, ASSISTED) consisting of hormonal stimulation of the ovaries, follicular aspiration of preovulatory oocytes, in-vitro fertilization, and intrafallopian transfer of zygotes at the pronuclear stage (before cleavage).

Full term delivery following cryopreservation of human embryos for 7. 5 years. (1/35)

Successful pregnancy in a 44 year old woman is described following the transfer of embryos which were cryopreserved for 7.5 years. The embryos were obtained during a gamete intra-Fallopian transfer (GIFT) procedure in 1989. To our knowledge this is one of the longest published periods of cryopreservation of embryos which has resulted in a healthy baby. This report illustrates the previously presumed viability and normality of human embryos undergoing long-term cryopreservation. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance for advanced reproductive technique programmes and patients to review and update their embryo status.  (+info)

Psychosocial stress and treatment outcome following assisted reproductive technology. (2/35)

This study investigated the association between psychosocial stress and outcome of in-vitro fertilization and gamete intra-Fallopian transfer treatment. Ninety women, enrolled for treatment at a private infertility clinic, completed two self-administered psychometric tests (Bi-polar Profile of Mood States, POMS; and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, STAI) and a questionnaire to ascertain demographic and lifestyle characteristics before the start of treatment. Approximately 12 months later an outcome measure was determined for each participant in terms of whether she was pregnant or not pregnant and the number of treatment cycles undertaken to achieve clinical pregnancy. The women's scores on the psychological tests were similar to published normative scores. On univariate analysis, history of a previous pregnancy was positively related to the probability of pregnancy and full-time employment, a more 'hostile' mood state and higher trait anxiety were associated with a lower cumulative pregnancy rate. A Cox multiple regression model found previous pregnancy history, trait anxiety, and the POMS agreeable-hostile and elated-depressed scales to be the most important lifestyle and stress variables predictive of pregnancy. The results emphasize the importance of psychosocial stress in treatment outcome but indicate that the relationships are complex. Further studies are required to validate whether these findings can be generalized to other populations.  (+info)

A possible effect of different light sources on pregnancy rates following gamete intra-fallopian transfer. (3/35)

A retrospective study of 34 sequential gamete intra-Fallopian transfer (GIFT) procedures suggested a significant effect on pregnancy rates associated with the different laparoscopic light sources, with a pregnancy rate of 50% in 22 cycles using a halogen light source and 9% in 12 cycles using a xenon light source. Other explanatory variables were explored, but none was to have a significant effect on the pregnancy rate. Further investigation revealed that the xenon light source emitted more ultraviolet light than the conventional halogen light source--suggesting a possible detrimental effect of ultraviolet light on the gametes in the GIFT procedure.  (+info)

Will GnRH antagonists provide new hope for patients considered 'difficult responders' to GnRH agonist protocols? (4/35)

We have assessed the use of cetrorelix, a gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist, in conjunction with clomiphene citrate and gonadotrophin in 31 in-vitro fertilization (IVF)/gamete intra-Fallopian transfer (GIFT) cycles for 25 difficult responders. Group I included 18 poor responders (24 cycles) with no live birth in 23 previous IVF cycles with GnRH agonists. Group II included seven patients (seven cycles) with polycystic ovaries. Thirteen previous IVF/GIFT cycles with GnRH agonists had resulted in one live birth and three of these patients had developed ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). The treatment protocol involved a daily dose of clomiphene citrate 100 mg for 5 days and gonadotrophin injections from cycle day 2. Cetrorelix 0.25 mg/day was started when the leading follicle reached 14 mm. The outcome in both groups was favourable compared to previous treatment with GnRH agonists. In group I the abandoned cycle rate was 29 versus 57% (P = 0.06). More oocytes were produced (6.4 versus 4.7 oocytes/cycle) at a lower dose of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) (709 versus 1163 IU/oocyte; P = 0.08) and two live births resulted (11.8%). In group II fewer oocytes were produced (10.2 versus 14.5 oocytes/cycle), using a lower dose of gonadotrophin (170 versus 189 IU/oocyte) and resulted in one ongoing pregnancy. No patients experienced OHSS. This report is preliminary and a further controlled randomized study is required.  (+info)

A rise of the serum level of von Willebrand factor occurs before clinical manifestation of the severe form of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. (5/35)

BACKGROUND: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) appears to be caused by increased capillary permeability in the vascular endothelial cells. Such cells secrete excess amounts of von Willebrand factor (vWF), a large adhesive glycoprotein. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated the circulating levels of vWF and of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) twice, on the days of oocyte retrieval and embryo transfer, in 46 women who developed early-onset OHSS. RESULTS: Nineteen, 14, and 13 women developed mild, moderate, and severe OHSS, respectively. Inconsistent changes were observed in the VEGF during oocyte retrieval and embryo transfer. However, the net increase in serum vWF during that period showed an increase in absolute value at the time of embryo transfer that paralleled an increase in the severity of OHSS. That is, in mild OHSS, the serum vWF increased from 140 +/- 44 to 164 +/- 28%; in moderate OHSS, it increased from 113 +/- 47 to 186 +/- 22%; and in severe OHSS, it increased from 120 +/- 35 to 274 +/- 63%. All 9 women with a vWF level > 230% at embryo transfer developed severe OHSS, while 9 of 13 women with severe OHSS exhibited a vWF > 230% at embryo transfer. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that a rise of the serum level of vWF occurs prior to clinical manifestation of OHSS in patients with severe OHSS but not in patients with mild OHSS.  (+info)

Effects of female and male smoking on success rates of IVF and gamete intra-Fallopian transfer. (6/35)

BACKGROUND: Smoking by both male and female partners may play a significant role in the success rates of assisted reproductive technologies. The objective of this 5-year prospective study was to investigate the influence of cigarette smoking by the wife, husband, and couple at various time points (e.g. lifetime, week prior, or during the procedures) on different biological parameters of IVF and gamete intra-Fallopian transfer (GIFT). METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 221 couples, aged >20 years, of Caucasian, Black, Asian or Hispanic descent were recruited from seven infertility clinics located in Southern California. Couples (i.e. either female or male or both) who ever smoked compared with non-smokers, had adjusted relative risks (RR) of 2.41 (95% CI 1.07-5.45, P = 0.03) of not achieving a pregnancy, and 3.76 (95% CI 1.40-10.03, P < 0.01) of not having a live birth delivery, while adjusting for potential confounders. For couples who smoked for >5 years, there was an adjusted RR = 4.27 of not achieving a pregnancy (95% CI l.53-11.97, P = 0.01). The number of oocytes retrieved decreased by 40% for couples (smokers, n = 6) and by 46% for men who smoked during the week of the visit for IVF or GIFT. Women who smoked in their lifetime had adjusted risks of 2.71 of not achieving a pregnancy (95% CI 1.37-5.35, P < 0.01), and 2.51 (95% CI 1.11-5.67, P < 0.03) of not having a live birth delivery. CONCLUSIONS: There is compelling evidence that couples should be made aware that smoking years before undergoing IVF and GIFT can impact treatment outcome. This study may also provide insight into the timing and effects of male and female smoking on natural reproduction.  (+info)

Conscious sedation versus general anaesthesia for minilaparoscopic gamete intra-Fallopian transfer: a prospective randomized study. (7/35)

BACKGROUND: Gamete intra-Fallopian transfer (GIFT) is a successful technique for infertile women, and is performed almost exclusively by laparoscopy under general anaesthesia. METHODS: We performed a prospective randomized study of 67 infertile patients to assess the efficacy of minilaparoscopic GIFT under conscious sedation/local anaesthesia (group A) compared with general anaesthesia (group B). Operative and discharge times and pregnancy outcome were evaluated in both groups. RESULTS: Operative time was similar in both groups. The rate of patients discharged 2 h after surgery was significantly higher in group A. The necessity for postoperative analgesics was significantly higher in group B. No significant differences were noted between the two study groups in terms of pregnancy outcome. CONCLUSIONS: Conscious sedation and local anaesthesia will allow us to perform an outpatient minilaparoscopic GIFT without the need for general anaesthesia. The simplicity of the method, and the quicker discharge time in comparison with general anaesthesia, offer a detectable benefit for patients.  (+info)

Ultrastructural evaluation of recurrent and in-vitro maturation resistant metaphase I arrested oocytes. (8/35)

An infertile couple whose female partner showed recurrent retrieval of immature metaphase I (MI) oocytes that were resistant to in-vitro maturation, was studied. Four spermiograms revealed teratozoospermia. Consistent non-fertilization and negative pregnancy outcomes were obtained after intrauterine insemination, gamete intra-Fallopian transfer and IVF. Two intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles were finally performed. All oocytes (n = 17) in both cycles were arrested at MI and failed to mature after 48 h culture. ICSI also resulted in total non-fertilization. In the last cycle, two oocytes were analysed by transmission electron microscopy and showed almost identical results. All organelles showed normal characteristics of an MI oocyte. The main abnormality found was related to the MI spindle, with absence of microtubules and dispersion of the female chromosomes. Minor abnormalities were observed (immature fibrous appearance of the zona pellucida; the presence of small vesicle aggregates which formed a foam-like body). The injected sperm nucleus was arrested in the middle of the chromatin decondensation process, with no visible nuclear envelope reformation. Normal disruption of sperm acrosomal and flagellar components were observed. Only a partial cortical reaction was observed. This represents the first documented case of developmental arrest due to complete absence of spindle formation in association with an otherwise mature ooplasm.  (+info)

Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT) is a type of assisted reproductive technology (ART) that involves the transfer of both sperm and eggs directly into a woman's fallopian tubes through a surgical procedure. This process allows for fertilization to occur naturally within the woman's body, increasing the chances of successful implantation and pregnancy.

In GIFT, mature eggs are collected from the woman's ovaries through a minor surgical procedure called follicular aspiration. These eggs are then mixed with prepared sperm from the partner or a donor in the laboratory. The mixture of eggs and sperm is then transferred into the fallopian tubes using a thin catheter, which is inserted through a small incision made in the woman's abdomen.

GIFT is typically recommended for couples who have unexplained infertility or mild to moderate male factor infertility and for whom other fertility treatments, such as intrauterine insemination (IUI), have been unsuccessful. However, due to the invasive nature of the procedure and the need for general anesthesia, GIFT is less commonly used than other ART procedures, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer (ZIFT) is a type of assisted reproductive technology (ART) that involves the transfer of a fertilized egg, or zygote, into the fallopian tube. The procedure is typically used to help individuals or couples who have difficulty conceiving naturally.

The ZIFT process begins with the retrieval of eggs from the ovaries through a minor surgical procedure called follicular aspiration. These eggs are then fertilized in a laboratory with sperm from the partner or a donor. The resulting zygotes are allowed to grow for about 24 hours, at which point they have typically divided into two cells.

The next step is to transfer the zygotes into the fallopian tubes using a thin catheter. This procedure is usually performed under sedation or anesthesia and takes only a few minutes. The goal of ZIFT is to place the zygotes in the optimal location for implantation and pregnancy to occur.

ZIFT has a slightly higher success rate than other forms of ART, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), because it places the embryos closer to the site of implantation. However, ZIFT also carries a higher risk of complications, including ectopic pregnancy and infection.

It's important to note that ZIFT is not a common procedure due to the complexity of the process and the availability of other less invasive options like IVF. The decision to undergo ZIFT should be made in consultation with a fertility specialist and based on individual circumstances and medical history.
