Background: The first successful livebirth using warmed oocytes (vitrified by the GAVITM system) is reported in this paper. Embryologists throughout the world have vitrified oocytes using a manual technique which is susceptible to error and variation. In this era of automated laboratory procedures, vitrification was made semi-automatic by using the GAVITM system. Case Presentation: Donor oocytes were initially vitrified using the GAVITM system. They remained in the clinic’s oocyte bank until they were allocated to the patient. Donor oocytes were warmed as per Genea BIOMEDX protocol and inseminated to create embryos. Resulting embryos for the 42-year-old patient were cultured to the blastocyst stage, biopsied to perform PGT-A, using next generation sequencing and subsequently vitrified. The patient underwent a single euploid transfer in a frozen embryo transfer cycle which resulted in a healthy livebirth. Conclusion: The introduction of a semi-automated system should minimize the risk to the oocytes, standardize the procedure worldwide and potentially reduce the laboratory time taken by the embryologists. This case report demonstrates the safety of the technology used for vitrification, but larger randomized studies need to be performed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of newer technologies like the GAVITM system before adopting it as a standard laboratory procedure.

Проведен сравнительный морфофункциональный мониторинг популяции донорских ооцитов, выделенных из яичников коров post mortem на разных стадиях овариального цикла, с учетом статуса хроматина и интрацитоплазматической локализации митохондрий ооцит-кумулюсных комплексов. Анализу подвергались ооциты, полученные из антральных фолликулов (Ø 2—6 мм), окруженные не менее, чем 5—6 слоями клеток кумулюса. Показано, что 45% и 50% ооцитов, выделенных из яичников на стадии фолликулярного роста и развитого жёлтого тела, соответственно, имеют периферическую локализацию митохондрий в ооплазме. Доля созревших ооцитов с периферической и равномерной локализацией митохондрий на момент аспирации их из яичников составила 88 и 85% соответственно, а уровень созревших ооцитов в группе с кластерным типом локализации достиг лишь 66%. В группе ооцитов с кластерной локализацией митохондрий отмечен высокий уровень ооцитов с дегенерированным хроматином после 24 ч культивирования (90%) по сравнению с группами с периферической и равномерной локализацией митохондрий (2 и 41% соответственно, P < 0,001). Ооциты с периферической локализацией митохондрий характеризовались гомогенной ооплазмой (58%). Гаметы с кластерным распределением митохондрий в основном имели гетерогенную ооплазму (52%), а клетки с равномерным распределением —  гомо- и гетерогенную ооплазму (29 и 36% соответственно). A comparative monitoring of the population of cow donor oocytes isolated from ovaries at different stages of the ovarian cycle was carried out, the chromatin status and the intracytoplasmic localization of mitochondria of oocyte-cumulus complexes were evaluated. Oocytes obtained from antral follicles (Ø 2-6 mm) were analyzed. Gametes were cultured at a temperature of 38.5°C, in an atmosphere with 5% CO2, 90% humidity for 24 hours in T-199 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 106 granulosa cells/ml, 50 ng/ml bovine prolactin. Mitochondria were visualized with using of vital dye rhodamine 123, the chromatin status was assessed by Tarkowski`s cytogenetic method. It was demonstrated that 45% and 50% of oocytes isolated from the ovaries in the stage of follicular growth and developed corpus luteum had a peripheral localization of mitochondria in ooplasm. The proportion of mature oocytes with the peripheral and spread localizations of mitochondria were 88% and 85%, respectively, while the maturation rate of oocytes with the mitochondrial clusters reached only 66%. Among oocytes with cluster distribution of mitochondria a high percent of cells with signs of chromatin degeneration after 24 h culture was noted (90%) compared with groups of oocutes with peripheral and spread distribution (2% and 41%, respectively, P<0,001). Oocytes with the peripheral localization of mitochondria were characterised by homogeneous ooplasm (58%). Gametes with the clusters mostly had a heterogeneous ooplasm (52%), and cells with the spread distribution – homo- and heterogeneous ooplasm (29% and 36%, respectively).
