Abstract
MONTANO-SERRANO, M et al. Postpartum massive bilateral pulmonary thromboembolism secondary to deep intrapartum venous thrombosis. A case report. Ginecol. obstet. Méx. [online]. 2017, vol.85, n.10, pp.711-717. ISSN 0300-9041. https://doi.org/10.24245/gom.v85i10.1364.
BACKGROUND:
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a combination of pathologies, which can manifest during pregnancy as an isolated lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or as a pulmonary embolus (PE). The global prevalence is low, which occurs in 1 to 1600 pregnancies.
CLINICAL CASE:
A 37-year-old primigravid patient with an episode of pulmonary thromboembolism with onset in the puerperium associated with intrapartum deep venous thrombosis as a triggering factor that evolved favorably due to timely diagnosis and treatment.
CONCLUSION:
The importance of this case lies in the need to act quickly to establish the diagnosis and immediately indicate the treatment.
