This study examined the in vitro blastocyst development after extended culture of these embryos and the clinical outcomes after transfer of these blastocysts in warming cycles. A total of 597 blastocysts (24.7%) were obtained from 2421 embryos with low morphological scores after extended culture. One hundred and sixty blastocysts (6.6%) with optimal morphology were vitrified. Embryo utilization rate was increased from 30.8% to 32.6%. After warming, 61 out of 92 blastocysts (66.3%) survived and were transferred in 44 cycles. The clinical pregnancy rate and the implantation rate were 40.9% (18/44) and 32.8% (20/61) respectively. Thirteen healthy babies were born, and 5 pregnancies aborted spontaneously. Our study suggested that some blastocysts derived from embryos with a poor morphological score can be successfully vitrified and give rise to live births. Selection and vitrification of viable embryos after extended culture of embryos with a poor morphological score may constitute a proposal to avoid embryo wastage.展开更多
