    Author: Esfandiari N, Claessens EA, Burjaq H, Gotlieb L, Casper RF.
    Journal: Fertil Steril; 2008 Jul; 90(1):199.e5-7. PubMed ID: 18329024.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To report a case of an ongoing twin pregnancy resulting from rescue intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) after failed fertilization of morphologically abnormal oocytes. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: Tertiary center for assisted reproductive technology (ART). PATIENT(S): A 28-year-old woman with primary infertility due to tubal obstruction. INTERVENTION(S): Rescue ICSI after failed IVF insemination. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Clinical pregnancy. RESULT(S): Successful ongoing twin pregnancy. CONCLUSION(S): With failed fertilization of oocytes with abnormal morphology after IVF, early rescue ICSI may increase the fertilization rates and result in an ongoing pregnancy.
