VENOUS THROMBOEMBOLISM ASSOCIATED WITH PREGNANCY
null
PDF202014 pages961 KB
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT), poses significant risks during pregnancy, contributing to maternal mortality. The physiological changes in pregnancy increase coagulability, necessitating careful assessment of thromboprophylaxis and treatment options. Diagnosis can be challenging due to overlapping symptoms with normal pregnancy, and imaging techniques must consider fetal safety. Anticoagulation remains the primary treatment, with advanced therapies available for severe cases. This document serves as a comprehensive guide for clinicians managing VTE in pregnant patients.
