Defragmentation of low grade day 3 embryos resulted in sustained reduction in fragmentation, but did not improve compaction or blastulation rates

In a prospective randomized fashion, this study evaluated embryo development in vitro after defragmentation versus assisted hatching alone of low grade day 3 embryos. Although a sustained decrease in day 5 fragmentation was observed in the defragmented group versus the assisted hatching only group, no difference in compaction rates or blastula formation rates were appreciated.

Extended embryo culture and natural fertilization do not protect against chromosomal errors: Aneuploidy rates in spontaneous abortions (SAB) are similar for day 3 (D3) and day 5 (D5) embryo transfers and are unrelated to intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) [Meeting Abstract]
