Preventing Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) in Pregnant Women

Join us for an insightful interview with Professor Saskia Middeldorp from Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, as she and our host Dr. Isabel Olivera-Martinez, discuss the medical and ethical challenges of conducting randomized clinical trials to prevent venous thromboembolism (VTE) during pregnancy.  VTE is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality, and poses significant risks to pregnant women. Together, explore the relevance of prophylactic treatments like low molecular weight heparin, and the ethical and financial complexities of conducting trials in this population. Learn about the ALIFE2 trial results, that assessed whether LMWH heparin should be used in women with recurrent miscarriage and inherited thrombophilia; well as the latest research and guidelines aimed at improving care for pregnant women at risk of VTE. Host: Isabel Olivera-Martinez, PhD, Medical WriterGuest: Prof Saskia MiddeldorpLearn MoreIf you liked this podcast and would like to explore related content, you can check out our clinical case about Thrombosis and Hemostasis on the EHA Campus.What did you think of this podcast?
