Abstract
One hundred obstetric patients were studied for evidence of puerperal thromboembolic disease. Only one case of deep vein thrombosis was detected in patients thought to be in a "high risk" category because of age or operative intervention. Clinical findings were unreliable compared with measurements of (125)I-labelled fibrinogen uptake. Doppler ultrasound flow detection proved a simple screening technique but produced no abnormal findings in this series.Entities:
