What has changed over the year in the prevention of venous thromboembolic events in pregnant women and puerperas?

Abstract

An issue of venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) in pregnant women and puerperas in Russia as well as throughout the world remains relevant. Specialized events with expert’s participation could not be better to promote active discussion and constructive solution of complex problems, which refer to issues of VTEs prevention. Indeed, not disputable issues can be solved, but critical look and reasoned opinion leader presentations in the field undoubtedly improve our understanding and approaches to prevention of threatening complications in pregnant women and puerperas such as VTEs. In addition, actively discussed new data for dosing of low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) in pregnant women will allow to update current clinical guidelines, which would probably improve clinical outcomes of therapy.
