title: Iliofemoral-popliteal phlebothrombosis in twin pregnancy treated with cesarean section and thrombectomy in the same act: a case report.
abstract: A case is presented of a 39-year-old primigravida who developed iliofemoral-popliteal thrombosis in the 34th week of twin pregnancy. Thrombectomy by use of a Fogarty catheter with previous protection from thrombus embolization by proximal placement of temporary occlusion was performed at the same time as the cesarean section for completion of premature delivery.
