Abstract

Educational Aims: To gain an understanding of current knowledge on risk factors for pregnancy-associated venous thromboembolism (PA-VTE).To gain an understanding of the diagnosis of PA-VTE.To review up-to-date approaches to preventing and treating PA-VTE.To discuss possible limitations in current research and areas which require improvement.
