Objective To evaluate the survival rate and clinical results of our vitrification procedure on preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) blastocysts and to calculate its actual contribution to the reproductive outcome per cycle. Design Retrospective clinical study. Setting University Institute IVI, Valencia, Spain. Patient(s) Patients who requested cryotransfer of surplus PGD blastocysts after failed fresh elective transfer. Intervention(s) Retrospectively collected data during 2 years of experience with blastocyst vitrification. Main Outcome Measure(s) Primary outcome measures were the following: blastocyst recovery and survival; cryotransfer cancellation; and the implantation, pregnancy (PR…
