Postpartum prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism with anticoagulation: A case report.

Although there is a remarkably high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) during pregnancy and postpartum, a cautious approach is needed while initiating therapeutic and prophylactic anticoagulant therapy. The merits of heparin for thromboprophylaxis in postpartum patients are exaggerated, and its risk is generally overlooked. This study aimed to report the inappropriate use of anticoagulants in postpartum patients.
