The paper presents a method for the treatment of cervical pregnancy conducting a superselective embolization of the uterine arteries (leading to the cessation of blood flow along the branches of the uterine arteries supplying the cervical wall) by Embosphere microspheres 700–900 microns in size, and by HepaSphere microspheres 150–200 microns in size, as well as intra-arterial administration of methotrexate on one side in a dose of 25 mg and then vacuum aspiration of the ovum.
