Use of urokinase in treatment of deep venous thrombosis in pregnancy has been limited because of concerns about teratogenic effects and potential hemorrhage before and after delivery. However, reports to date have been encouraging and our experience is supportive. In the cases described here, urokinase thrombolytic therapy was effectively used to treat deep venous thrombosis in two pregnant patients without any apparent complications.

Hemostasis is a crucial process that prevents excessive blood loss from damaged blood vessels. It involves various mechanisms such as vasoconstriction, platelet adhesion and activation, and fibrin formation. The importance of each mechanism depends on the type of vessel injury. In contrast, thrombosis is the abnormal formation of a blood clot within the blood vessels, leading to potential complications if the clot obstructs blood flow. Thrombosis can be caused by increased coagulability of the...
