Thrombotic Risk

The authors present a case of a 27-year-old multiparous woman, with multiple thrombophilia, whose pregnancy was complicated with deep venous thrombosis requiring placement of a vena cava filter. At 15th week of gestation, following an acute deep venous thrombosis of the right inferior limb, anticoagulant therapy with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) was instituted without improvement in her clinical status. Subsequently, at 18 weeks of pregnancy, LMWH was switched to warfarin. At 30th week of gestation, the maintenance of high thrombotic risk was the premise for placement of an inferior vena cava filter for prophylaxis of pulmonary embolism during childbirth and postpartum. There were no complications and a vaginal delivery was accomplished at 37 weeks of gestation. Venal placement of inferior vena cava filters is an attractive option as prophylaxis for pulmonary embolism during pregnancy.

Set Up

A clinical case of a 71-year old patient with stomach cancer and concomitant lower extremity deep venous thrombosis diagnosed before the surgical treatment is presented. The patient was administered anticoagulants, and despite the treatment, a diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis with high risk for thromboembolism was set up. Considering high risk for pulmonary embolism, an inferior vena cava filter was implanted in infrarenal part of inferior vena cava at the first stage. On the second day after the cancer surgery (subtotal stomach resection with lymphadenectomy), clot detachment and its dislocation from the left common femoral vein to the area where the cava filter was implanted with further fixation were diagnosed. Accurate diagnosis of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis with high risk for thromboembolism set up by ultrasonography and timely inferior vena cava filter implantation saved the patient with cancer from developing pulmonary embolism.
