International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Gurjeet Bhangu et al, published in Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis (JTH), adding:
“Can we use standard D‑dimer thresholds in postpartum patients?
How should we manage suspected PE during the postpartum period?
Our new Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis (JTH) research recap dives into this important topic!
In this JTH research recap, co-author Leslie Skeith and JTH associate editor Alberto Maino discuss the recently published paper titled: Diagnostic management of suspected acute pulmonary embolism in the postpartum period.”
