Abstract
To explore the optimal treatment for cesarean scar pregnancy. In total, 86 women diagnosed with a cesarean scar pregnancy were divided into three groups according to treatment. The human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) decline percentage, intraoperative blood loss and success rate were analyzed in Group A [combination ofuterine arterial embolization (UAE), local methotrexate (MTX) injection and dilation & curettage (D&C)], Group B (combination of UAE and local MTX injection) and Group C (D&C). Then, the best treatment was carefully analyzed, and recommendations were provided. The success rate was highest in Group A (97.5%) compared with Group B (76%) and Group C (63.15%). The reduction in hCG was greatest in Group A (86.62%, 44.0-99.97%) compared with group B (67.83%, 18.0-98.03%) and Group C (68.21%, 27.0-93.24%). The intraoperative blood loss was lowest in Group A (44.881, 5-200ml) compared with Group C (224.737, 10-1000ml). Additionally, we found that the best time to perform D&C in group A depended on the hCG reduction percentage, and a 35% reduction after UAE and local MTX injection could be used as the indicator to perform D&C. The combination ofUAE, local MTX injection and D&C for CSP patients is the optimal treatment strategy. A 35% reduction in hCG after UAE and local MTX injection can be recommended as the indicator to perform D&C.
