An Unusual Case of Acquired Uterine Arteriovenous Malformation With Persistent Scar Ectopic Pregnancy Successfully Managed With Uterine Artery Embolization

摘要

Uterine arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rare entity in gynecology, with fewer than 100 cases reported in the literature. AVM is an abnormal arteriovenous connection lacking an intervening capillary network on histopathological examination. We report an unusual case of acquired AVM after dilatation and curettage of cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy managed with uterine artery embolization and concurrent methotrexate administration for persistently elevated beta-human chorionic gonadotropin levels.J Med Cases. 2016;7(4):143-147doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.14740/jmc2458w
