AB During  the  past  century,  the  frequency  of  venous  thromboembolism  (VTE)  during  the  puerperium  decreased  remarkably  as  early  ambulation  became  routine  practice.  Despite  this  and  other  advances  in  prevention  and  treatment,  thromboembolism  remains  a  leading  cause  of  maternal  morbidity  and  mortality  (Abe,  2019).  Thrombotic  pulmonary  embolism  accounted  for  almost  10  percent  of  pregnancy-related  deaths  in  the  United  States  between  2011  and  2015  (Creanga,  2017;  Petersen,  2019).
