Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Angular Pregnancy:

1.	Methotrexate (Mexate)FDA LinkGeneric 01/01/2000 - "In addition to presenting a review of conservative methods of treatment, we report on a patient with an angular pregnancy who was treated with methotrexate and developed a pronounced peritonitis." 01/01/2017 - "Angular Pregnancy, Interstitial Pregnancy, Caesarean Scar Pregnancy and Multidose Methotrexate."

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Hysterectomy 01/01/2015 - "Laparoscopy was useful in the treatment of early angular pregnancy and could avoid the need for invasive surgery or hysterectomy." 10/01/2004 - "Laparoscopy can be useful for guiding dilatation and curettage in angular pregnancies, and may circumvent the need for invasive surgery or hysterectomy." 12/01/2016 - "Although angular pregnancy can progress to term pregnancy, it may be associated with major obstetric complications such as uterine rupture, placental retention, postpartum hemorrhage, or may need further surgery and hysterectomy. "
2.	Curettage 04/23/2021 - "This superiority can be even more obvious for removing persistent placental remnants in the lateral angle of the uterine cavity after repeated dilation and curettage (D&C) of an angular pregnancy, which is rarely reported. " 09/01/2023 - "A 39-year-old gravida 7 para 4 who had undergone a laparoscopic right salpingo-oophorectomy (RSO) one year ago and a pregnancy termination via dilation and curettage (D&C) three weeks ago was suspected to have a ruptured right interstitial or angular pregnancy. " 01/01/1991 - "A case of angular pregnancy was diagnosed by ultrasound examination after curettage of abortion hemorrhage. "
3.	Hysterotomy 02/01/2000 - "Hysterotomy for retained placenta in a term angular pregnancy. " 12/01/2010 - "Hysterotomy for retained placenta with imminent uterine rupture in a preterm angular pregnancy."
4.	Salpingectomy 03/01/2023 - "In the two angular pregnancy cases, transvaginal ultrasonography was employed to confirm the diagnosis, which showed a lack of the interstitial line sign, contiguity of the decidua and endometrium, and an endomyometrial mantle thickness between 5 and 8 mm. One patient's angular pregnancy ultimately ruptured and was successfully managed with fully robotic cornual resection and unilateral salpingectomy, while the other progressed to term normally without complication.
