OBJECTIVE: To report the first birth after transfer of cryopreserved embryos generated by intracytoplasmic sperm injection of cryopreserved testicular spermatozoa into cryopreserved human oocytes. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: Tertiary center for reproductive technology. PATIENT(S): A 36-year-old woman with primary infertility of 3 years' duration and a 37-year-old man with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens. INTERVENTION(S): Cryopreservation of human embryos after oocytes and sperm thawing. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Live birth. RESULT(S): A healthy, normal female infant with a birth weight of 2,950 g was born by cesarean section at 38 weeks' gestation, with normal 6-month follow-up. CONCLUSION(S): Embryo cryopreservation can lead to successful results, even with the use of cryopreserved gametes.
