Who is not a suitable candidate for zygote intrafallopian transfer?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Older procedure: Zygote intrafallopian transfer (zift) is an older procedure which has been replaced by the current in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer techniques utilized these days. Zift requires normal fallopian tubes.

ZIFT candidate: Embryos live best in the environment of the tubes which act as natural incubators. For women older than 42, ivf may not offer much advantage over the natural cycle. Some studies had shown that placing embryos (zift) or the sperm and eggs (gift) into the distal tubes could yield higher live birth rates than ivf. For most patients, however, ivf is more cost effective than zift or gift.
