This article discusses the efficacy and safety of minimally invasive approaches in the treatment of cervical ectopic pregnancy (CEP). The study analyzed cases of CEP at a New York City medical center from 2010 to 2023. The primary treatment options included transvaginal ultrasound-guided feticide, transcervical balloon catheter insertion, and systemic methotrexate (MTX). The results showed that both transvaginal ultrasound-guided feticide and transcervical balloon catheter were effective in resolving live CEP without surgical intervention. Systemic MTX was used for non-live CEP cases, with some requiring additional interventions. Overall, the study suggests that minimally invasive management can successfully treat CEP.

This article, titled "Transvaginal ultrasound-guided feticide in the management of interstitial ectopic pregnancy," discusses the effectiveness and safety of using transvaginal ultrasound-guided feticide as a treatment for interstitial ectopic pregnancy (IEP). The study, conducted at a New York City academic institution between 2010 and 2023, included 23 patients with IEP. The primary outcome of the study was treatment success, defined as resolution without surgical intervention. The results showed that transvaginal ultrasound-guided feticide was highly effective and safe for managing live IEPs, with minimal complications. [Extracted from the article]
