Maternal Morbidity After Double Balloon Catheter Management of Cesarean Scar and Cervical Pregnancies

Cervical double balloon catheter management of cesarean scar and cervical pregnancies is associated with low morbidity and high treatment success. We performed a retrospective cohort study of all Type 1 cesarean scar pregnancies (n=18) or cervical pregnancies (n=5) at an academic tertiary center after treatment with a cervical double balloon catheter from 2018 to 2022 to evaluate outcomes and maternal morbidity. Cervical double balloon catheter treatment was associated with no cases (95% confidence interval 0–16%) of maternal hemorrhage treated with transfusion, hysterectomy, or ICU admission. Treatment was successfully performed by nine different obstetrics and gynecology specialists.
