Running Titles: Trans-arterial-chemo-embolization in
gestational trobhoblastic diseases and its complications.
Abstract: A-30-years-old-primigravida-patient with significant
vaginal bleeding for 1-week following amenorrhea for 2-months and
positive pregnancy test. Duplex-US findings were suggesting cervical
molar-pregnancy. Systemic methotrexate was administered as first line
therapy but necessitated dilatation-and-curettage followed by
intracervical-diluted-vasopressin and adequate intracervical
foley’s-balloon inflation to control bleeding but it was failed. Then,
we resorted a modified novel management of cervical molar pregnancy and
its complications as uterine artery embolization with embologent gelfoam
“slurry” soaked with methotrexate called as
trans-arterial-chemo-embolization (gTACE) for an immediate successful
hemostatic measure to save the life and uterus of the patient suffering
from a rare manifestations of gestational trophoblastic disease.
