Abstract:Summary
Thirty‐four patients with antenatal venous thromboembolism seen in Dundee Royal Infirmary between 1960 and 1969 are reviewed in an attempt to define the patient at risk. No pregnant woman is immune but older parous patients with a history of venous trouble and subjected to rest in bed are likely to develop the condition.
The diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis and the medical management of patients with antenatal deep venous thrombosis are discussed. There may be a place for the use of low molecular we… Show more
