During pregnancy, the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) increases by 5–10 times and can be 35 times higher during puerperium when compared with the rate among non-pregnant women of the same age. After delivery, the frequency reduces rapidly, but there is a residual risk for up to 12 weeks. Approximately two-thirds of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) occurs during the gestational period, equally distributed across the three trimesters. However, 43–60% of pulmonary embolism episodes occur during the first 6 weeks of the puerperium1,2. Among pregnant women, when compared with non-pregnant women, DVTs in the left lower limb (90 vs. 55%) and the iliofemoral segment (72 vs. 9%) are even more predominant. This is because of the accentuated compression of the left common iliac vein against the fifth lumbar vertebra by the right common iliac artery, caused by the gravid uterus1,2. The main risk factors for VTE during pregnancy are overweight, obesity, age of 35 years or more, inherit or acquired thrombophilias, long-distance travel, immobility, hospital admission during pregnancy, certain comorbidities (inflammatory intestinal disease, urinary tract infection, systemic lupus erythematosus, pregnancy-induced systemic arterial hypertension or pre-eclampsia, and non-obstetric antenatal surgery), obstetric hemorrhage, and hyperemesis. Prevention of VTE in pregnancy by means of application of guidelines and implementation of mechanical and/or pharmacological prophylaxis is still the best strategy for reducing the rate of these events1,2.","PeriodicalId":21234,"journal":{"name":"Revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira","volume":"69 suppl 1","pages":"e2023S128"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/25/e6/1806-9282-ramb-69-suppl1-e2023S128.PMC10411697.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10420723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
