AbstractAbstract
[en] Objective: To assess the clinical value of bilateral uterine artery chemotherapy embolization (UACE) for cervical ectopic pregnancy analyzed. Methods: Clinical records of 40 patients with cervical ectopic pregnancy treated using UACE were retrospectively analyzed. Results: 8 patients with severe active vaginal bleeding after curettage were treated urgently with UACE. The remaining 32 patients were treated with UACE combined with sequential ultrasound-guided curettage. Active vaginal bleeding was stopped after UACE. There was no recurrent hemorrhage with the sequential ultrasound-guided curettage procedure. The β-HCG levels of all patients were normalized after 1 month. Conclusion: Bilateral uterine artery chemotherapy embolization is valuable as emergency treatment for patients with severe vaginal bleeding from cervical ectopic pregnancy. UACE combined with sequential ultrasound-guided curettage may be more effective. (authors)
