Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is one of the leading cardiovascular etiologies of maternal morbidity and mortality. Indeed, pulmonary embolism (PE) accounts for approximately 9% of pregnancy-related deaths. In addition, pregnancy-related deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) can lead to (severe) post-thrombotic syndrome [...]
