Main points:
– in primary prophylaxis, a fixed prophylaxis dose of LMWH is recommended over weight-adjusted dosage protocols
– Pregnancy Heart Team should be involved in pulmonary embolism management
– LMWHs are 1-st line treatment in doses adjusted for early pregnancy body weight
– Catheter-directed therapies or systemic thrombolysis should be recommended in high-risk PE in pregnancy.”
