To evaluate the efficacy of transvaginal intratubal methotrexate (MTX) treatment of tubal ectopic pregnancy (EP).
Outpatient setting in University Hospital.
Forty women with early EP and rising serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-hCG) levels.
Transvaginal intratubal administration of MTX (1 mg/kg body weight).
Success was defined as declining serum beta-hCG to undetectable levels, no tubal dilatation on ultrasound examination, and no further intervention was required.
Treatment was associated with a 70% success rate. No difference was found in the success rate between women with an embryo (76.9%) and those with no embryo in their fallopian tubes (66.7%). The initial serum beta-hCG levels were also not different between patients who were successfully treated and those who failed to respond to the treatment. Despite declining serum beta-hCG levels, tubal rupture occurred in two patients.
Treatment of EP by transvaginal MTX administration is associated with a 70% success rate. This is independent of the presence of an embryo or the initial serum beta-hCG levels. Rupture of EP can still occur despite low and declining serum beta-hCG levels.
评估经阴道输卵管内注射甲氨蝶呤(MTX)治疗输卵管异位妊娠(EP)的疗效。
大学医院门诊。
40例早期EP且血清β-人绒毛膜促性腺激素(β-hCG)水平升高的女性。
经阴道输卵管内注射MTX(1mg/kg体重)。
成功定义为血清β-hCG降至无法检测水平,超声检查输卵管无扩张,且无需进一步干预。
治疗成功率为70%。输卵管内有胚胎的女性(76.9%)与无胚胎的女性(66.7%)之间成功率无差异。成功治疗的患者与治疗无反应的患者初始血清β-hCG水平也无差异。尽管血清β-hCG水平下降,但仍有2例患者发生输卵管破裂。
经阴道注射MTX治疗EP的成功率为70%。这与胚胎的存在或初始血清β-hCG水平无关。尽管血清β-hCG水平较低且呈下降趋势,但EP仍可能发生破裂。
