Unlike tubal ectopic pregnancy, management of interstitial pregnancy is not well standardized. Systemic methotrexate (MTX) and surgical resection are the primary treatment options; however, failure rates and risk of bleeding remain high. Alternative minimally invasive techniques have been described\u2014including uterine artery embolization (UAE) and local injection of MTX or potassium chloride\u2014and may confer improved success rates. We report a case of a high-risk 28-year-old female with an interstitial ectopic pregnancy successfully treated with combined local injection of MTX plus UAE. We describe our technique and the unique medical management in the setting of a known bleeding disorder.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0043-1770712","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,10]],"date-time":"2023-08-10T22:41:07Z","timestamp":1691707267000},"page":"357-361","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Local
