title: Anticoagulation.
abstract: Outpatient management of women requiring treatment and prophylaxis against thromboembolic conditions during pregnancy and the postpartum period requires a coordinated effort between the patient, her obstetrician and, in certain cases, a hematologic consultant. The anticoagulation regimen should be tailored to the clinical situation, with patient compliance and cost taken into consideration.
