INTRODUCTION
in vitro
experiments were
performed
Upper balloon:
≤ 30ml
Lower balloon:
≤ 20ml
Materials and Methods
Placing of Double-balloon
Pain meds
2hrs prior to procedure
Continued as needed
Patient placed in lithotomy position
Vulva and vagina were prepped
Speculum was inserted and exposed cervix
was cleaned with betadine
Paracervical block (1% lidocaine)
Followed by Hegar #7 to facilitate catheter placement
Materials and Methods
Placing of Double-balloon
Uterus is imaged by TAS
probe
Insertion of Double
balloon catheter into
uterine cavity
Materials and Methods
Placing of Double-balloon
Upper balloon inflated
with 10ml sterile saline
Speculum was removed
and replaced by TVS
probe
Lower balloon positioned
adjacent to GS
Materials and Methods
Placing of Double-balloon
Lower balloon inflated
with sterile saline
Until GS is flattened
VIDEO
Materials and Methods
Uterus is rescanned after 1hr
No heart activity + no bleeding
Patient is discharged
2 ER consults
Lower abdominal cramps (catheter in place for 2 days)
Discharged
Results
Evaluation of double-balloon treatment method
All patients reported lower abdominal
pressure at inflation phase of catheter
Lower balloon inflation
Oral ibuprofen 2hrs prior to the procedure
Results
Evaluation of double-balloon treatment method
Upper anchor balloon kept
the catheter in place
providing adequate hemostasis
Embryonic heartbeats were
stopped (by 1-2hr UTZ) and
no significant bleeding
occurred
Comment/ Discussion
Cesarean scar
pregnancy is
a dangerous
entity,
regardless of
the treatment
chosen.
Comment/ Discussion
Cesarean scar pregnancy:
TO CONTINUE or TO TERMINATE?

Comment/ Discussion
Rationale of using a double-balloon method in CSP and CP
Treating obstetrical
hemorrhage by means of
tamponing is well established
Inflatable balloons
Inflating with saline → pressure on
bv → hemostasis
Comment/ Discussion
Rationale of using a double-balloon method in CSP and CP
Comment/ Discussion
Rationale of using a double-balloon method in CSP and CP
Comment/ Discussion
How long should the catheter be left in place?
Low abdominal cramps caused by catheter.
Implications..
The anchoring balloon was too small to prevent
expulsion
If patient signals severe pain, catheter have to be
deflated or removed
Further clinical trials
adequate and minimum time to keep catheters in
place
effective fluid volume in the balloons
Comment/ Discussion
Strength and weakness of the study
Strength Weakness
It is an office-based Low number of
procedure and all patients treated
patients had the Possible rare
desired positive
complications were not
outcomes investigated
relatively widely Length of time for the
available expertise of catheter to be kept in
placing cervical
ripening double place and optimal
balloons inflation volume
Conclusion
The double balloon
is a successful,
minimally invasive
and well-tolerated
single treatment
for cervical
pregnancy and
cesarean scar
pregnancy
Conclusion
4 main advantages:
it effectively stops
embryonic cardiac
activity
prevents bleeding
complications
does not require any
additional invasive
therapies
familiar to ob-gynes who
use the same cervical
ripening catheters for
labor induction.
Critical
Appraisal
Did the overview address a focused clinical
question?
Is the research method (study design)
appropriate for answering the research
question?
Are both the setting and the subjects
representative with regard to the population to
which the findings will be referred?
Is the researcher’s perspective clearly
described and taken into account?
Are the methods for collecting data clearly
described?
Was the analysis repeated by more than one
researcher to ensure reliability?
Are the results credible, and if so, are they
relevant for practice?
Are the conclusions drawn justified by the
results?
Are the findings of the study transferable to
other settings?
End of report,
Thank you.
