Multidisciplinary care of the pregnant patient with or at risk for venous thromboembolism: a recommended toolkit from the Foundation for Women and Girls with Blood Disorders Thrombosis Subcommittee

Abstract

The care of pregnant persons with/at risk of venous thromboembolism is complex and often challenging. Although guidelines have been published regarding the use of specific therapies, such as anticoagulants; in this population, none have provided guidance on how to coordinate multidisciplinary care of these patients. Here we provide an expert consensus on the role of various providers in the care of this patient population, as well as necessary resources and suggestions for best practices.

Keywords: anticoagulants; deep-vein thrombosis; pregnancy; pulmonary embolism; venous thromboembolism.
