What Are the Risks of ICSI-IVF? Is It Safe for the Baby? Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, Angelman syndrome
ICSI-IVF comes with all the risks of a regular IVF cycle, but the ICSI procedure does introduce additional ones. A normal pregnancy comes with a 1.5 to 3 percent risk of major birth defect. ICSI treatment carries a slightly increased risk of birth defects. Some birth defects are more likely to occur with ICSI-IVF, specifically Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, Angelman syndrome, hypospadias, and sex chromosome abnormalities. What Is the Success Rate for ICSI-IVF?
The ICSI procedure fertilizes 50 to 80 percent of eggs. You might assume all eggs get fertilized with ICSI-IVF, but they don’t. Fertilization isn’t guaranteed even when a sperm is injected into the egg. These additional risks are why many doctors are saying ICSI should not be used for every IVF cycle. Farhi J, Cohen K, Mizrachi Y, Weissman A, Raziel A, Orvieto R. Should ICSI be implemented during IVF to all advanced-age patients with non-male factor subfertility?. Reprod Biol Endocrinol. 2019;17(1):30. doi:10.1186/s12958-019-0474-y Some fertility clinics recommend ICSI for every IVF cycle.
For example:March 18,2017:IVF-ICSI“ Congratulations, you have 27 perfectly fertilized embryos”, announced Dr. William Ziegler, a medical director of Reproductive Science Center of NJ. ICSI was charged as expensive as $ 2500. However,the later results were disappointing:22 of those embryos destroyed or did not survive to a stage of blastocysts. IVF failed. Embryo implantation failure was reasoned with existed chromosomal abnormalities of ICSI.
