[Thrombo-embolic disease and pregnancy. The prevention of pulmonary emboli by placing a clip on the inferior vena cava (author's transl)].
The authors, having had a case of deep pelvic phlebitis occurring in a young primiparous woman who was treated prophylactically against the occurrence of a pulmonary embolus by placing a clip on the inferior vena cava discuss: the etiology of the condition: the difficulties of the diagnosis. They point out the value of phlebo-cavography which is an essential investigation in which no more than 4 films are taken, because it is on this that the indication for surgery rests. They point out the value of anticoagulant treatment, especially that using Calciparine which permits the patient to lead a more or less normal life at home. As far as the surgical procedure is concerned, a median approach seems to them the best way to carry out the operation.
