Hysteroscopic management of heterotopic cesarean scar pregnancy.

OBJECTIVE

To report a cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) with a coexistent viable intrauterine pregnancy.

DESIGN

Case report.

SETTING

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou, Taiwan.

PATIENT(S): A 31-year-old woman, with previous cesarean delivery, presented with vaginal bleeding, was transferred to our hospital at 7 weeks' gestation for heterotopic pregnancy after an IVF-embryo transfer. A diagnosis of intrauterine pregnancy combined with CSP was made by ultrasonography.

INTERVENTION(S): Hysteroscopic-directed evacuation of CSP.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Good hemostasis at cesarean site and ongoing intrauterine pregnancy.

RESULT(S): A healthy baby was delivered by cesarean delivery at term.

CONCLUSION(S): With the increasing number of IVF-embryo transfers, the amount of heterotopic pregnancies is also increasing. Hysteroscopic management of CSP is a minimally invasive procedure that leads to successful obstetric outcomes in the corresponding intrauterine pregnancies.
