Managing CVT in Pregnancy: Balancing Risks and the Role of Antithrombotic Prophylaxis
International Journal of Stroke (IJS) shared a post on X:
”Just Accepted!
New systematic review & meta analysis. Results find cerebral venous thrombosis & noncerebral VTE pose substantial risks during pregnancy, particularly in women with prior thrombotic events.”
Read the full article here.
Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare but serious condition that poses heightened risks during pregnancy and the postpartum period, especially in women with prior thrombotic events.
In a new PRISMA guidelines-confirmed meta analysis article ‘Cerebral venous thrombosis during pregnancy and postpartum: A systematic review and meta-analysis‘ published by Xiaoming Zhang et al. in the International Journal of Stroke/Sage Journals, the role of antithrombotic prophylaxis in these groups of patients was discussed.
Current data on CVT incidence, recurrence, and outcomes remain inconsistent, and the protective role of antithrombotic prophylaxis is yet to be clearly defined.
While prophylaxis may reduce risks, it must be balanced against potential maternal and fetal complications.
These findings highlight the urgent need for personalized management strategies and further research to guide evidence-based clinical practice.
