Aims: To investigate the potential risk factors for haemorrhage during suction curettage after uterine artery embolization (UAE) in the treatment of caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP).
Methods: A case-control study was executed including 35 patients with CSP and haemorrhage during suction curettage after UAE and 140 controls without haemorrhage. The data collected included gestational age, the distance between the gestational mass and the bladder, and the volume of vaginal bleeding.
Objective: To determine risk factors associated with massive uterine bleeding during dilation and suction curettage (D&C) after uterine artery embolization (UAE) for the treatment of cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP).
Methods: Data from 128 CSP patients treated with D&C after UAE were analyzed to assess risk factors associated with massive uterine bleeding (blood loss 500mL or more) during D&C after UAE.
Results: In total, 15 CSP patients had massive bleeding during D&C after UAE.
