Late symptoms after pregnancy-related deep vein thrombosis
(1990) In British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology 97(4). p.338-341- Abstract
- Thromboembolism during pregnancy is a rare complication with a potential fatal outcome. Very little is known about long-term effects and therefore 104 women with thrombosis during pregnancy or puerperium were identified and their subjective complaints were assessed in a questionnaire.

The severity of the symptoms increased with the increasing number of thromboses. Anticoagulant therapy of the acute episode does not appear to alter the degree of long-term handicap in the lower limbs. (Less)
