Intrapartum pulmonary embolus. A case report
The Journal of Reproductive Medicine
|January 1, 1985
Intrapartum pulmonary embolus is rare. In a case we encountered, both the mother and infant survived. The peripartum period is a relative contraindication to the use of thrombolytic therapy due to the risk of postpartum hemorrhage. The indications for embolectomy and vena caval interruption are the same as the ones generally accepted.
