Assisted oocyte activation is not beneficial for all patients with a suspected oocyte-related activation deficiency

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Despite the success of ICSI, total fertilization failure (TFF) still occurs in 1-3% of all ICSI cycles. ICSI followed by assisted oocyte activation (ICSI-AOA) can restore fertilization, most efficiently in cases of sperm-related fertilization deficiency.
