Thrombophlebitis and varicosis syndrome in pregnancy.
Venous stasis of the lower limbs is common in pregnancy; the thromboembolic complications are 1 in 1000 and become reduplicated in puerperium. The management of 13 patients with deep venous thrombophlebitis of the lower limbs during pregnancy, the fetal outcome and delivery were evaluated retrospectively. The delivery indications were the classic ones. Therapy was administration of calcium heparin and an angio-protector like diosmina. Good results, whether fetal outcome or mother morbidity in puerperium, were obtained.
