Abstract:
Pregnancy considerably increases the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), encompassing deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The treatment of these disorders poses unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, particularly in balancing maternal and fetal safety. Interventional radiology plays a critical role in the management of pregnancy-associated VTE through advanced imaging techniques and minimally invasive procedures such as catheter-directed therapy and inferior vena cava filter placement. This review explores the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management strategies for VTE in pregnancy with special attention to interventional treatment strategies, emphasizing patient-centered care and multidisciplinary collaboration to optimize outcomes.
