Everything the clinician needs to know about evidence-based anticoagulation in pregnancy

Pregnancy is a hemostatic challenge: women are prone to thromboembolism during their pregnancy and at the same time, especially during delivery, there is substantial risk of bleeding. Pregnant women are often excluded from randomized controlled trials, and high quality evidence regarding optimal anticoagulant management is thus lacking. Anticoagulants are being used in pregnancy for prevention and treatment of various pregnancy complications such as thrombotic events, preeclampsia and pregnancy loss.
