Abstract:
May Thurner Syndrome contributes to thromboembolic disease and can cause significant morbidity in pregnant patients secondary to exaggerated anatomic relationships and physiologic changes in the hematologic system favoring thrombogenesis. Because this condition is both underrecognized and underreported, management in pregnant and postpartum patients is based on expert opinion without any formal evidence-based guidance. Herein, we review five pregnancies in four patients with May Thurner Syndrome and general management strategies. Through collaborative and multidisciplinary care, patients with May Thurner Syndrome can be safely and successfully managed during pregnancy and the postpartum period with appropriate anticoagulation.
