AB The  most  common  forms  of  venous  thromboembolic  (VTE)  diseases  encountered  during  pregnancy  and  the  postpartum  period  include  deep  venous  thrombosis  (DVT),  pulmonary  embolism  (PE),  septic  pelvic  thrombophlebitis  (SPT),  and  ovarian  vein  thrombosis  (OVT).  Thromboembolic  disease  is  a  major  contributor  to  both  perinatal  and  maternal  morbidity  and  mortality  worldwide.  The  World  Health  Organization  (WHO)  estimates  that  VTE  accounted  for  3.2%  of  maternal  deaths  between  2003  and  2012.1  A  large  part  of  the  strategy  for  reducing  maternal  morbidity  and  mortality  from  VTE  lies  in  a  systematic  approach  to  thromboprophylaxis,  and  there  is  evidence  that  progress  is  being  made.
