Investigation of Embryoscopy in Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

NCT00589446 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 20

Last updated 2009-06-30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose is to test the value of embryoscopy in women with missed abortions after recurrent miscarriages (at least two previous miscarriages) in the past. This project will assess two functions of embryoscopy:-

1. Whether embryoscopy allows the diagnosis of structural anomalies (disorganized embryos). This is a fetal cause of embryo loss which cannot be diagnosed by other means.
2. Whether embryoscopy allows an accurate biopsy of embryonic tissue for karyotyping.

However, it may be that embryoscopy will be found to have no advantage.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE
