Thromboembolic disease in pregnancy.

S E Rutherford, J P Phelan

    Clinics in Perinatology
    |December 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Prompt diagnosis and treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or thromboembolism are crucial during pregnancy. Heparin is the preferred anticoagulant, offering safety for both mother and fetus when carefully monitored.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Hematology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Thromboembolism diagnosis and management during pregnancy require careful consideration due to potential risks to mother and fetus.
    • Prompt identification and treatment are essential to prevent severe maternal and fetal complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for thromboembolic disease in pregnant patients.
    • To emphasize the safety and efficacy of specific anticoagulants during gestation.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of diagnostic imaging techniques including angiography and lung scanning.
    • Discussion of anticoagulant therapy options, focusing on heparin and warfarin.
    • Emphasis on clinical monitoring and risk-benefit assessment.

    Main Results:

    • Radiographic procedures offer valuable diagnostic information with minimal risk to mother and fetus.
    • Intravenous heparin is the anticoagulant of choice for treatment and prophylaxis during pregnancy.
    • Warfarin use is restricted due to significant fetal risks, including anomalies and hemorrhage.

    Conclusions:

    • Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of thromboembolism are vital for preventing maternal and fetal mortality.
    • Heparin anticoagulation can be safely administered during pregnancy with careful monitoring.
    • Risk-benefit analysis is crucial when considering anticoagulation in pregnant individuals.
