Entry term(s) transferencia de blastocistos
transferencia tubárica del embrión
Scope note: Transferencia de embriones de mamífero desde un ambiente in vivo o in vitro a un hospedador adecuado para mejorar el embarazo o el desenlace gestacional en humano o animal. En los programas de tratamiento de fertilidad en humanos son transferidos los embriones preimplantación que van de un estadio de 4 células al estadio de blastocisto a la cavidad uterina entre 3 y 5 días después de la FECUNDACIÓN IN VITRO.

Scope note: The transfer of mammalian embryos from an in vivo or in vitro environment to a suitable host to improve pregnancy or gestational outcome in human or animal. In human fertility treatment programs, preimplantation embryos ranging from the 4-cell stage to the blastocyst stage are transferred to the uterine cavity between 3-5 days after FERTILIZATION IN VITRO.

Embryo Transfer - Preferred
Concept UI M0007257
Scope note The transfer of mammalian embryos from an in vivo or in vitro environment to a suitable host to improve pregnancy or gestational outcome in human or animal. In human fertility treatment programs, preimplantation embryos ranging from the 4-cell stage to the blastocyst stage are transferred to the uterine cavity between 3-5 days after FERTILIZATION IN VITRO.

Blastocyst Transfer - Narrower
Concept UI M0380714
Scope note The delayed transfer of embryos at the blastocyst stage provides a means to eliminate unhealthy embryos that do not develop normally. The selection and transfer of superior blastocysts reduces the need for multiple-embryo transfer and the risks of high-order multiple gestation.
Preferred term Blastocyst Transfer
Tubal Embryo Transfer - Narrower
Concept UI M0380713
Scope note Embryos are transferred to the fallopian tubes.
Preferred term Tubal Embryo Transfer
Entry term(s) Tubal Embryo Stage Transfer
