A comparison of the relative efficacy of in-vitro fertilization with uterine embryo transfer (IVF), tubal embryo stage transfer (TEST) and gamete intra-Fallopian transfer (GIFT) was performed in infertile patients with patent Fallopian tubes. A total of 150 couples with unexplained infertility, peritoneal endometriosis or reduced semen quality were included in the study. The three groups were comparable with regard to age distribution, indications, semen parameters, stimulation regimens, response to stimulation and numbers of oocytes retrieved. In the IVF and TEST groups there was no cleavage in 24% and a cleavage rate of only 47.6%. The highest cleavage rate was obtained in the endometriosis patients. The pregnancy rate was highest in the two groups in which in-vitro fertilization was performed, IVF = 45.7%, TEST = 37.9%, GIFT = 26.2%. To obtain one live intrauterine fetus, more oocytes had to be transferred in the GIFT group compared to the number of embryos in the IVF group, 14.4 versus 6.2, P less than 0.05. Due to a high success rate of IVF but at the same time a high frequency of no cleavage in cases of unexplained infertility or male subfertility, we recommend IVF as the primary procedure in infertile couples with patent Fallopian tubes.

D004624 Embryo Transfer The transfer of mammalian embryos from an in vivo or in vitro environment to a suitable host to improve pregnancy or gestational outcome in human or animal. In human fertility treatment programs, preimplantation embryos ranging from the 4-cell stage to the blastocyst stage are transferred to the uterine cavity between 3-5 days after FERTILIZATION IN VITRO.

D005187 Fallopian Tubes A pair of highly specialized canals extending from the UTERUS to its corresponding OVARY. They provide the means for OVUM transport from the ovaries and they are the site of the ovum's final maturation and FERTILIZATION. The fallopian tube consists of an interstitium, an isthmus, an ampulla, an infundibulum, and fimbriae. Its wall consists of three layers: serous, muscular, and an internal mucosal layer lined with both ciliated and secretory cells.
