A critical appraisal of cryopreservation (slow cooling versus vitrification) of human oocytes and embryos

25 Apr 2012

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Vitrification is now a commonly applied technique for cryopreservation in assisted reproductive technology (ART) replacing, in many cases, conventional slow cooling methodology. This review examines evidence relevant to comparison of the two approaches applied to human oocytes and embryos at different developmental stages. METHODS: Critical review of the published literature using PubMed with...
