A case of labor and delivery with deep vein trombosis

Objective:
Pregnancy is a prothrombotic state and it has all components of Virchow’s triad: venous stasis, endothelial damage and hypercoagulability. The incidence of all thromboembolic events is about 1 in 1000 pregnancies. Pulmonary embolism still remains leading cause of maternal sudden death, especially in the first 6 weeks postpartum. Deep vein thrombosis(DVT) is considered highest in the early third trimester and is present in otherwise healthy women. In pregnancy the risk of DVT is a five times higher than non-pregnant women. The risk for thromboembolism is approximately doubled in patients with multifetal gestation, anemia, hyperemesis, haemorrhage and cesarean delivery, as well as in pregnancies complicated by postpartum infections. The aim is to describe different cases of DVT with spontaneоus and cesareаn delivery and postpartum recovery period and bleeding.
