| Abstract: | Venous thromboembolism (VTE) includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). In pregnancy, deep vein thrombosis accounts for 75–80% of venous thromboembolism, the remainder are pulmonary embolisms. One half of these VTEs occur during pregnancy and the other half in the postpartum period. Venous thromboembolism is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality worldwide and is also the cause of significant maternal morbidity. This article discusses the risk factors for VTE in pregnancy, the management of the pregnant woman at risk both antenatally and postpartum and the acute management of VTE when it occurs during pregnancy. |
