title: [Culture of blastocysts using sequential media].
abstract: The advantages of cultivating human pre-embryos to the stage of blastocites, are well known. The use of media of culture sequential, without the backing of somatic cells, is new. The objective was to cultivate human pre-embryos to the stage of blastocyte to the determine the recuperation indexes, implantation index and pregnancy index in patients subjected to FIVT/TE or ICSI. Once obtained the ovules of patients were injected/inseminated to latter be cultivated for 72 hours using P1 medium at 10% of SSS under mineral oil for, latter, be transferred to a complex medium for blastocites culture for 48 hours, and finally be transferred. Thirteen were included (9 of FIV and 4 of ICSI) obtaining 205 ovules; fertilized 143 and 131 had cellular division. One hundred and twenty one pre-embryos were cultivated to blastocyst stage, from which, 53 reached that stage (43.8%); transferring 28 and freezing 25. In average, 2.1 blastocysts were transferred by patient. There were four pregnancies and one alive newborn, at term for an index of implantation of 14.2% and a pregnancy index of 30.7%. The study shows our initial experience, which demonstrated and acceptable idea of recuperation of blastocysts and pregnancies.
