What to do with one good quality blastocyst and where do we place the emphasis?

Zachary W Walker et al. J Assist Reprod Genet. 2023 Mar.

Abstract

The use of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) in poor responders undergoing assisted reproductive technology has been a topic of debate with controversial results. It is critical to note the denominators used in data presented. Herein, we comment on the results found in the study by Kahraman et al. on the utility of PGT-A in poor responders with a single, good-quality blastocyst.
