Christopher Robinson, Associate Professor of Maternal-Fetal Medicine at the University of South Carolina and Executive Chair of the Foundation for the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, shared a post on LinkedIn about a paper by Alessandro Lucidi et al. published in AJOG:
“AJOG Surgeon’s Corner: Ultrasound-guided suction with balloon tamponade for cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy: a combined treatment strategy – Schematic illustrations (a,c,f) and ultrasound images (b,d,e) showing the combined use of ultrasound-guided suction and balloon tamponade placement in the management of cesarean scar pregnancy.
b) Transvaginal ultrasound image showing the ectopic gestational sac and placenta implanting in the niche of the prior CD scar. The residual myometrial thickness is the thinnest myometrial measurement between the outermost edge of the placenta and the bladder wall closest to the implantation site (yellow dotted lines).
d) Insertion of a flexible uterine-aspiration cannula and aspiration of the ectopic gestational sac.
g) Insertion of the balloon tamponade (filled with 20-25 ml of sterile saline solution) after ultrasound-guided aspiration of the ectopic gestational sac.”
