Utilisation des antithrombotiques chez la femme enceinte

Recommendations of the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) concerning antithrombotic treatments were published in September 2004 and discussed in a meeting organized in Paris in November 2004 by a group of experts including a group of authors of the recommendations and French doctors specialized in these subjects. We report here the recommendations concerning pregnancy: French translation of the levels of evidence, of the different schemes for administration of anticoagulants and the text of recommendations concerning the prevention and treatment of venous thrombo-embolism during pregnancy and post-partum. In addition, we have included comments from the French working group.
