title: In vitro Maturation of Oocytes in High Altitude Women with Polycystic Ovaries.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Determine the effectiveness of in vitro maturation of oocytes in the infertility treatment in high altitude women with polycystic ovaries.
  
  
  METHODS
  
  
  
  METHODS
  descriptive and retrospective study.
  
  
  METHODS
  Women with polycystic ovaries and infertility.
  
  
  METHODS
  there were 11 women from locations above 7,546 feet above sea level with polycystic ovaries and infertility in which were performed in vitro maturation of oocytes, followed by intracytoplasmic sperm injection, culture and embryo vitrification. After that, the endometrium was prepared and the embryos were thawed and transferred. Main results mesurements: oocytes maturation, fertilization, clinical pregnancy and implantation rates.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Oocytes maturation rate was 86.1%; fertilization rate 90.3%; clinical pregnancy rate 36.4% and implantation rate 17.4%.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In vitro maturation of oocytes is an effective technique in the infertility treatment of high altitude women with polycystic ovaries.
