Intrauterine Pregnancy After Salpingectomy for Tubal Pregnancy Due to Emergency Contraception: A Case Report

Association between ultrasound findings and serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor in ampullary pregnancy

“…The rising incidence is mainly associated with an increased prevalence of pelvic inflammatory and sexually transmitted diseases, utilization of in vitro fertilization technologies, increased tubal sterilization practice and subsequent reversal attempts, as well as the use of levonorgestrel as an emergency contraceptive method (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11). The most common location of EP is in the fallopian tube, with 75%-80% in the ampullary portion (9).…”

Vascular endothelial growth factor and β-human chorionic gonadotropin are associated with trophoblastic invasion into the tubal wall in ectopic pregnancy

“…The increase in the incidence of EP over the last years has been attributed to the growing number of risk factors (3)(4)(5)(6)(7) and to the improvement of diagnostic methods (3)(4)(5)(8)(9)(10).…”

Serum concentration of vascular endothelial growth factor and depth of trophoblastic invasion in ampullary ectopic pregnancy

“…EPs account for 1-2% of all pregnancies, and hemorrhage due to tubal rupture remains the most common cause of maternal mortality in the first trimester of gestation 3. The increasing incidence of EP is strongly associated with a greater prevalence of late primiparity, pelvic inflammatory disease and other sexually transmitted diseases, tubal sterilization and subsequent attempted reversal, and cesarean section delivery; a larger number of pregnancies conceived using assisted reproductive technology; and the use of levonorgestrel as an emergency contraceptive method 4-6.…”
