“…A variant of this technique was later introduced, zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT), where the oocyte was fertilized in vitro and subsequently transferred to the fallopian tube, which was able to overcome these prior limitations. But very quickly, this method was found to be invasive, ineffective, and costly because of the need of 2 laparoscopic procedures; one for oocyte retrieval and one for zygote transfer [9]. This was particularly evident once the less invasive transvaginal aspiration of oocytes became the standard.…”

Purpose Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is the most widely utilized assisted reproductive technique (ART) worldwide. In this feature, we review the early assisted fertilization attempts that eventually led to the development of ICSI, and discuss its current utilization in cases of male and non-male factor infertility. Methods We researched the literature related to the development, indications, and current use of ICSI, such as sperm structural abnormalities, male genetic indications, surgically retrieved sperm, high sperm chromatin fragmentation, oocyte dysmorphism, and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT). We also describe the potential future applications of ICSI. Results This review summarizes the early micromanipulation techniques that led to the inception of ICSI. We also explore its current indications, including non-male factor infertility, where its use is more controversial. Finally, we consider the benefits of future advancements in reproductive biology that may incorporate ICSI, such as in vitro spermatogenesis, neogametogenesis, and heritable genome editing. Conclusion The versatility, consistency, and reliability of ICSI have made it the most prevalently utilized ART procedure worldwide.

“…ZIFT involves removal of eggs followed by IVF with subsequent transfer of the embryo at the 2 cell stage into the Fallopian tube [ 138 ]. It can be used in cases of severe male infertility, immunologic infertility or unexplained infertility [ 138 , 139 , 140 , 141 ]. Other ARTs include artificial insemination (AI), intrauterine insemination (IUI) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), which are generally used in cases of male infertility and can be coupled with other ARTs, such as IVF, depending on the severity of the infertility ( Table 2 ) [ 142 , 143 ].…”

The Periconceptional Environment and Cardiovascular Disease: Does In Vitro Embryo Culture and Transfer Influence Cardiovascular Development and Health?

Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) have revolutionised reproductive medicine; however, reports assessing the effects of ARTs have raised concerns about the immediate and long-term health outcomes of the children conceived through ARTs. ARTs include manipulations during the periconceptional period, which coincides with an environmentally sensitive period of gamete/embryo development and as such may alter cardiovascular development and health of the offspring in postnatal life. In order to identify the association between ARTs and cardiovascular health outcomes, it is important to understand the events that occur during the periconceptional period and how they are affected by procedures involved in ARTs. This review will highlight the emerging evidence implicating adverse cardiovascular outcomes before and after birth in offspring conceived through ARTs in both human and animal studies. In addition, it will identify the potential underlying causes and molecular mechanisms responsible for the congenital and adult cardiovascular dysfunctions in offspring whom were conceived through ARTs.

“…This procedure was known as zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT) and it allowed the confirmation of fertilization but maintained some of the theoretical benefits of GIFT (Hamori et al 1988). However, the use of two laparoscopies, one for oocyte retrieval and the other for zygote transfer, was a major limitation of this approach.…”

“…Subsequently, the technique of transferring laparoscopically retrieved oocytes fertilized in vitro at the pronuclear stage into the fallopian tube via a second laparoscopy was introduced. This procedure was known as zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT) and it allowed the confirmation of fertilization but maintained some of the theoretical benefits of GIFT ( Hamori et al 1988 ). However, the use of two laparoscopies, one for oocyte retrieval and the other for zygote transfer, was a major limitation of this approach.…”

Abstract:In vitro fertilization, popularly referred to as IVF, has captured the attention of the public since its sensational introduction in 1978. Today assisted reproductive technology is available throughout most of the civilized world, and the practice is largely different from that used during the early days. Refinements in laboratory technology and clinical practice have allowed IVF to evolve into a medical procedure that is efficient, safe, readily accessible, and relatively affordable. More than 2 million IVF children have been born to date, and it is likely that continued enhancements will widen its appeal and applicability.
