Acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after cesarean section.

A Bergqvist, D Bergqvist, T Hallböök

    Summary

    Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurred in 1.8% of women after cesarean sections, primarily following emergency procedures. Pregnant uteruses can obstruct venous outflow before surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Thrombosis Research

    Background:

    • Cesarean section is a common surgical procedure with potential risks.
    • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a significant complication following major surgery.
    • The pregnant uterus can impact venous circulation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the frequency of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in women undergoing cesarean section.
    • To identify potential risk factors for DVT after cesarean delivery.
    • To assess the effect of the pregnant uterus on venous outflow.

    Main Methods:

    • A prospective study involving 169 women undergoing cesarean section.
    • Non-invasive diagnostic technique: strain gauge plethysmography used to detect DVT.
    • Venous plethysmography performed pre-operatively in a subset of patients.

    Main Results:

    • Three patients (1.8%) developed DVT, all after emergency cesarean sections.
    • No specific pre-operative risk factors were identified for DVT development.
    • Pre-operative plethysmography revealed venous outflow obstruction in 33% of patients due to the pregnant uterus.

    Conclusions:

    • The incidence of DVT after cesarean section is low but warrants attention, particularly in emergency cases.
    • The pregnant uterus can cause significant venous outflow obstruction.
    • Further research may be needed to explore preventative strategies for DVT in this population.
