Abstract: | Venous thromboembolism (VTE) 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.The thrombophilias, both heritable and acquired are becoming increasingly recognised as a cause of morbidity and mortality both within and outside pregnancy. There has been recent increased interest in the thrombophilias and their link with recurrent miscarriage, pre-eclampsia, abruption and intrauterine growth restriction. The relationship between the thrombophilias and adverse pregnancy outcome is addressed in detail with reference to the current literature available on this evolving subject. |
