PULMONARY EMBOLISM DIAGNOSTICS AND TREATMENT IN PREGNANCY

Abstract

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) may manifest as pulmonary embolism (PE) or deep vein thrombosis (DVT) which is a serious and potentially fatal condition. Treatment and prevention of obstetric-related VTE is complicated by the need to consider fetal, as well as maternal, wellbeing when making management decisions. The most recent literary data concerning the obstetric-related VTE diagnosis and treatment have been presented in this article.
