Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of in vitro activation (IVA) following cryopreserved ovarian tissue autotransplantation in the treatment of patients with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). Methods:We reported and reviewed the treatment and follow-up of a patient with POI, who underwent IVA combined with cryopreserved ovarian tissue transplantation.Results:The patient naturally concepted and delivered a healthy baby boy, who became the first live birth after cryopreserved ovarian tissue transplantation in China. The baby showed normal physical, motor and mental development during two-year follow-up.Conclusion:IVA combined with cryopreserved ovarian tissue transplantation can effectively activate residual follicles in some POI patients and allow them to conceive their own genetic offspring. IVA technology may become a new choice for fertility treatment of POI patients.
