Treatment of cesarean scar pregnancy by uterine artery embolization and curettage opportunity / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the clinical effect of uterine artery embolization on cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) and curettage opportunity.Methods Sixty-three patients with CSP received curettage after uterine artery embolization with gelfoam were selected.Among of them,21 cases received curettage within 24 h after uterine artery embolization (group A); 20 cases within 1-3 d (group B);22 cases within 4-7 d (group C).The intraoperative haemorrhage,serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG)level resolution time,duration of hospital stay,hospitalization cost,postoperative complications were observed after the termination of the pregnancy.Results The duration of hospital stay and hospitalization cost in group A and group B were (10.5 ± 3.9),(10.2 ± 5.2) d and (7353 ± 962),(7594 ± 1032) yuan,respectively,and there was no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).Which was lower than that in group C [(13.9 ± 5.4) d,(10 980 ± 1534) yuan],and there was significant difference(P ＜ 0.01).The intraoperative haemorrhage,serum β-hCG level resolution time and postoperative complications in group B and group C were(20.2 ± 8.8),(20.7 ± 9.3) ml and (25.9 ± 9.3),(25.7 ± 8.1) d and 40.0％(8/20),40.9％(9/22),and there was no significant difference(P＞ 0.05).But which was better than those in group A[(35.0 ± 10.7) ml,(20.5 ± 7.7) d,66.7％ (14/21)],and there was significant difference (P ＜0.01).Conclusions The treatment of curettage after the uterine artery embolization is a safe and effective method for CSP.There are fewer complications,shorter hospital stays and fewer hospitalization costs if receiving curettage within 1-3 d after uterine artery embolization.
