Abstract：Pregnancy and the puerperium are wellestablished risk factors for venous thromboembolic disease (VTE).Imaging studies,such as compression ultrasonography,V/Q scan and CTPA,play a major role in confirming suspected DVT or PE in pregnant women.LMWHs are recommended as first-line anticoagulants for thromboprophylaxis and treatment of VTE during pregnancy.If VTE occurs at term,delivery should be attended by an experienced multidisciplinary team.In recent years,the number of pregnant women with VTE increases in China,but there is a lack of actual morbidity and studies about VTE prevention and treatment.There is an urgent need for setting up prevention and multidisciplinary management strategies for Chinese pregnant women.
