UNASSIGNED: Pregnancy-related @entity715 is a major cause of maternal mortality. Pregnancy and the puerperium are associated with a fourfold to fivefold increased risk of @entity715 when compared with the nonpregnant state. The greatest time of risk is in the postpartum period. Diagnosis of @entity1211 ( @entity1211 ) during pregnancy can be challenging as many of the symptoms can be associated with normal pregnancy. Almost all @entity1150 occurs in the left leg or iliac veins. Diagnostic procedures for @entity1151 carry some exposure to radiation, although risks are low when compared with risks associated with an undiagnosed maternal PE. The anticoagulant of choice during pregnancy is low-molecular-weight heparin. Certain medical conditions require alternative approaches as management around the time of delivery. In @entity1 with @entity1211 during pregnancy, anticoagulation should continue for at least 3 months and until at least 6 weeks postpartum. @entity600 Research (Part C), 2015.    2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
