IVI presented 74 papers at this important industry event. This research details significant developments for the safety and success of assisted reproduction. Safety and success are two of the four main pillars on which IVI\u2019s success is based: ensuring the safety of our patients and cutting-edge research.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_68_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ivi.uk\/blog\/ivi-makes-significant-advances-in-the-safety-and-success-of-assisted-reproduction\/#Safer_methods\" title=\"Safer methods\">Safer methods<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ivi.uk\/blog\/ivi-makes-significant-advances-in-the-safety-and-success-of-assisted-reproduction\/#Improving_preimplantation_genetic_testing_PGT\" title=\"Improving preimplantation genetic testing (PGT)\">Improving preimplantation genetic testing (PGT)<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ivi.uk\/blog\/ivi-makes-significant-advances-in-the-safety-and-success-of-assisted-reproduction\/#IVIs_commitment\" title=\"IVI&#8217;s commitment\">IVI&#8217;s commitment<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Safer_methods\"><\/span>Safer methods<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nSafety is a fundamental pillar of IVI, now more than ever. For this reason, the vast majority of research we carry out is aimed at <strong>advancing safety and precision<\/strong>, designed to offer the greatest guarantee to the many women and couples who come to our clinics to achieve what they desire most. In this sense, some of the most important research that IVI presents at ASRM focuses on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ivi.uk\/assisted-reproduction-treatments\/vitrification-of-oocytes\/\">vitrification of oocytes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cOne of our studies presented at this year&#8217;s edition of the ASRM Congress shows how the use of slush nitrogen at -210\u00b0 for the vitrification of embryos could increase their survival rate. Our researchers have observed that cryopreservation of the blastocyst in slush nitrogen results in increased survival after thawing. This is due to the reduction in toxicity associated with vitrification compared to conventional liquid nitrogen at -196\u00b0 \u2013 currently used in gamete and embryo preservation. This is promising for improving the efficiency of cryopreservation of embryos for later use, and for optimising the results of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ivi.uk\/assisted-reproduction-treatments\/in-vitro-fertilisation\/\">in vitro fertilisation<\/a>\u201d, explained <a href=\"https:\/\/ivi.es\/especialistas\/antonio-requena\/\">Dr. Antonio Requena<\/a>, Medical Director of IVI.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Improving_preimplantation_genetic_testing_PGT\"><\/span>Improving preimplantation genetic testing (PGT)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nTwo major lines of research at IVI also presented at this edition of ASRM involve further analysis of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ivi.uk\/assisted-reproduction-treatments\/pgd-pgt\/\">preimplantation genetic testing<\/a>. One by means of trophoectoderm biopsy and another with a non-invasive approach, which studies the culture medium of the embryos.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIt is important to highlight our studies in relation to the verification of information from genome tests. Currently, preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) is performed by analysing trophoectoderm biopsies. Here, we have shared a <strong>PGT-A platform<\/strong> we&#8217;ve developed which provides 100% accuracy in predicting embryos that will not implant. In addition, we have analysed the reliability of a <strong>non-invasive preimplantation genetic testing<\/strong> <strong>platform<\/strong> for aneupoidy (niPGT-A). At present, niPGT-A appears to lack the precision needed to be accepted as a useful diagnostic tool. Our challenge? To continue refining the results of this type of technique\u201d, said Dr. Requena.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IVIs_commitment\"><\/span>IVI&#8217;s commitment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nAt IVI, we will continue to <strong>lead and advance research<\/strong> to improve the techniques used in reproductive medicine, shaping the future of a specialism that helps so many dreams to come true.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery year, we share our most outstanding findings at the ASRM Congress. We achieve these results through our commitment to scientific research. We are aware that these studies will define the way we continue to improve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ivi.uk\/assisted-reproduction-treatments\/success-rates\/\">the success of our treatments<\/a>, always prioritising the safety of our patients. We aim not only to give them a reason to hope, but also inspire confidence that they will achieve their dream of becoming parents\u201d, concluded Dr. Antonio Requena.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"IVI discovers that using slush nitrogen at -210\u00b0 in embryo vitrification could increase embryo survival compared to the current technique Non-invasive preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy is the starting point to continue to improve results and become a useful diagnostic tool This important research into safety is part of a total of 74 papers presented&#8230; <a class=\"view-article\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ivi.uk\/blog\/ivi-makes-significant-advances-in-the-safety-and-success-of-assisted-reproduction\/\">View Article<\/a>","protected":false},"author":42,"featured_media":101358,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[309,310],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
