Abstract

Introduction: venous thromboembolic disease constitutes one of the complications of pregnancy, which can evolve torpidly and cause death.

Objective: to characterize pregnant women with venous thromboembolic disease attended at the  "Abel SantamaríaCuadrado" General Teaching Hospital.

Methods: an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted in pregnant women attended at the "Abel SantamaríaCuadrado" General Teaching Hospital between May 2018 and March 2021. The sample consisted of 26 patients. Descriptive statistics were used.

Results: 0,09 % of the 27,500 pregnant women attended presented venous thromboembolic disease, with a higher incidence in the age group of pregnant women aged 35 years or older (0,06 %). A total of 76,92% developed venous thromboembolic disease during the puerperium, with the highest incidence during the puerperium being observed in patients who underwent cesarean section (80%). Of the patients with venous thromboembolic disease during pregnancy, 57,69% presented varicose veins in the lower limbs and 69,23% reported a history of deep vein thrombosis. Venous thromboembolic disease was common (57,69 %) in pregnant women with a body mass index greater than 28,6.

Conclusions: Venous thromboembolism presented a low incidence, which was higher during the puerperium, occurring commonly at that stage in those who had to undergo cesarean section.  In pregnant women with a history of deep vein thrombosis, recurrence was common. Venous thromboembolic disease was more frequent in pregnant women with a high body mass index.
