Cesarean scar pregnancies are increasing in incidence, with ill-defined management options. We applied a newly published cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy clinical classification system to our previously published, now expanded, case series of cervical double-balloon catheter management to inform this option as a potential surgical treatment strategy. We found that cervical double-balloon catheter management of cesarean scar pregnancies is an efficacious and safe option when utilizing the newly published clinical classification system. Of our 34 recorded cases, only 5.9% (2/34) of patients required additional procedures after initial cervical double-balloon catheter. Cervical double-balloon catheter should be considered as potential management in future classification systems.
