This study aims to analyse the outcome of UAE treatment in CSP population to calculate the overall success rate. Caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is an infrequent ectopic pregnancy now more frequently associated with increasing rates of caesarean section, which are associated with significant morbidity, such as haemorrhage and uterine rupture. Early ultrasound diagnosis is critical for treatment, whereas uterine artery embolization (UAE) has been effective in managing CSP recurrences and prevented serious complications.

A comprehensive search across PubMed, Google Scholar and Scopus yielded 4844 records out of which 9 studies were finally selected of which 8 studies were selected for meta analyses. SPSS version 28 and R Studio were used for data analysis and graph preparation respectively. The overall success rate was 94.61% in a total of 3688 UAE treated CSP patients. UAE proved to be effective with promising success rates.
