Abstract
ELENA, Hernán E et al. Tratamiento exitoso de un embarazo heterotópico cervical luego de un procedimiento de fecundación in vitro. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2016, vol.76, n.1, pp.30-32. ISSN 0025-7680.
A 37-year-old nulligravida infertile female had a cervical heterotopic pregnancy following an in vitro fertilization procedure. Early intervention on the 6th week of gestation with a manual vacuum aspirator reached to remove the cervical pregnancy. Ligation of the descending cervical branches of the uterine arteries and a cervical cerclage, were placed before the aspiration, for prevention of possible hemorrhage. Successful removal of the cervical pregnancy was achieved with only mild bleeding. An intrauterine pregnancy progressed to viability without complications, resulting in a vaginal delivery of a preterm live-birth at 35.4 weeks, of a male that weighted 2740 g.
