Selective embryocide in the nonsurgical management of combined intrauterine-extrauterine pregnancy.
Early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy has provided the opportunity for nonsurgical management in selected cases. We used selective embryocide to manage the ectopic embryo in a patient with a combined intrauterine-extrauterine gestation following in vitro fertilization. The intrauterine pregnancy continued to term without incident.
