    AbstractPregnancy associated venous thromboembolism (PA-VTE) is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite the availability of international guidance on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment, practice differs between countries and clinical institutions. The evidence base in this area is limited due to the vulnerable population who are affected, with the majority of guidelines deriving their recommendations from experience in surgical and medical venous thromboembolic disease. This review includes best evidence in PA-VTE management, highlighting specific literature which supports current diagnosis, prevention, and treatment strategies. Additionally, we hope to demonstrate emerging trends in the field through discussion of ongoing trials designed to progress towards evidence-based practice in the context of PA-VTE.Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc.
