IVC filter and anticoagulation manage IVC thrombosis and PE in pregnancy until labor at 32 weeks.
Case Report (n=1)
Inferior vena cava filter implantation combined with anticoagulation can be utilized to manage inferior vena cava thrombosis and pulmonary embolism during pregnancy.
A multigravida in her late 20s was diagnosed with inferior vena cava thrombosis (IVCT) and PE at 26 weeks of pregnancy after a routine prenatal care visit. The patient denied any diseases that could cause IVCT, as well as the presence of any symptoms. Progressive thrombocytopenia was diagnosed in the period until the implantation of the inferior vena cava filter (IVCF). Due to a rupture of foetal membranes and chorioamnionitis, labour was induced at 32 weeks of pregnancy. The IVCF remained in place and anticoagulants were continued through the postpartum period for up to 6 months.
