title: [Venous thromboembolic disease and pregnancy].
abstract: Venous thrombo-embolic disease is the most common cause of maternal death during pregnancy. Haemodynamic, anatomical and biological changes support the notion that normal pregnancy in a prethrombotic state. But thrombotic events remain unusual episodes. A pre-thrombotic disease has to be investigated in such cases. Accurate diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism is imperative, using non-invasive approaches. Heparin is the anticoagulant of choice to treat objective thrombosis. Thrombo-embolism prophylaxis using compression stockings and heparin has to be discussed in hypercoagulable disorders.
