Abstract

Objective: To present a case of a heterotopic cervical pregnancy successfully treated with transvaginal ultrasound-guided aspiration and cervical-stay sutures.

Design: Case report.

Setting: Tertiary academic IVF program.

Patient(s): A 35-year-old woman who conceived from IVF-ET treatment at 5.5 weeks of gestation.

Intervention(s): Transvaginal ultrasound-guided aspiration of the cervical pregnancy followed by cervical-stay sutures to control hemorrhage after aspiration.

Main outcome measure(s): Recovery of the patient, preservation of the intrauterine pregnancy, and sequelae.

Results(s): The cervical pregnancy was successfully aborted, and the intrauterine pregnancy progressed to term.

Conclusion(s): Transvaginal ultrasound-guided aspiration in combination with hemostatic cervical-stay sutures can be safely used to manage heterotopic cervical pregnancies.
