AOA has shown to be able to overcome ICSI fertilization failure
• Few RCT’s published
• Only 4 RCT’s examined AOA in case of previous fertilization failure
• Not all patients may benefit from AOA
• Extremely limited data are available regarding association between AOA in human ART and health outcomes in children and miscarriage rate
Learning objectives
• Prevalence and causes of fertilization failure following ICSI • Oocyte activation process
• Diagnostic tools in case of fertilization failure following ICSI • History of Assisted Oocyte Activation (AOA)
• Technical aspects of AOA • Efficiency of AOA
• Safety issues
• Future perspectives
