Objective: To describe a simple adjunct treatment option, trophoblastic microcirculation occlusion (TMO), which could change subsequent high-risk electric vacuum aspiration in patients with an endogenous cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) into a routine conventional surgical procedure. Electric vacuum aspiration for the treatment of CSP may be associated with several significant complications, including hemorrhage and tissue remnants. Consequently, a second intervention, such as uterine artery embolization, resectoscopy, or methotrexate, may be required, thus complicating the surgical treatment of CSP.

Extratubal secondary trophoblastic implants following laparoscopic salpingectomy is an extremely rare form of persistent ectopic pregnancy. These cases usually result in a small amount of vaginal bleeding and sudden lower abdominal pain thereby presenting with hemoperitoneum in emergencies. Owing to the urgency of hemoperitoneum and the uncertainty of the location of persistent ectopic pregnancy after laparoscopic salpingectomy, the risk of reoperation is increased.

Its use may associate with adverse effects presumably originating from folate deficiency. Although MTX side effects could be decreased by folate supplementation, the current guideline on folate administration is not precisely established, which could result in irreversible damage especially in high-risk groups like women in childbearing-age.
