Zusammenfassung

Die Kryokonservierung ist ein wesentlicher Baustein heutiger klinischer Infertilitätsbehandlung. Hierbei findet insbesondere die Vitrifikation eine weitverbreitete routinemäßige Anwendung. Ihre Etablierung erlaubt heute eine Maximierung der Wahrscheinlickeit einer Konzeption eines jeden einzelnen IVF-Zyklus durch die Kryokonservierung von nicht transferrierten Embryonen. Dies führt zu einer maximalen Nutzung aller gewonnenen Eizellen und erzeugten Embryonen. Darüber hinaus erlaubt die Technologie der Vitrifikation die Möglichkeit, einen frischen Embryotransfer, wie in Fällen von nicht optimaler uterinärer Vorbereitung, Fertilitätskonservierung, Präimplantationsdiagnose oder Notfällen wie Problemen in der Spermagewinnung, abzusagen. In diesem Kapitel wird die Anwendung der Vitrifikation von Eizellen bis hin zur Blastozyste beschrieben. Die vorgestellten Resultate unterstreichen einmal mehr die Robustheit der Vitrifikation für die Krykonservierung von menschlichen Gameten und Embryonen.
