IVF Athens Center is proud of its achievement in 2008, when the first child in Greece following the vitrification/warming procedure was born and since then we have performed thousands of embryo transfers in cryo-preservation-warming cycles.
Success rates are consistently high, corresponding to the international ones and those without freezing interventions!
Cryopreservation and cryostorage are applied:
To men with:
- Νecessary submission to chemotherapy or radiotherapy
- Diversity in semen parameters, usually to men with severe oligoasthenospermia
- Diagnosed reduced reproductive ability
- Sexual difficulties (ejaculation problems)
Sperm samples are cryopreserved by the slow freezing method
To women with:
- Νecessary submission to chemotherapy or radiotherapy
- Further family planning options
Ovarian tissue fragments are cryopreserved by the slow freezing method
Unfertilized oocytes are cryopreserved by the vitrification method
To the couple
- Preservation of supernumerary embryos created during an IVF cycle
- Elective freeze all
- Pre-implantation genetic testing
All fertilized oocytes (embryos) are cryopreserved by the vitrification method
