Objective: This study aims to compare the effect of thromboembolic prophylaxis in patients diagnosed with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy undergoing cesarean section.

Methods: Three hundred and eighty-six patients were included in the study. The patients were divided into groups according to the type of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and whether thromboembolism prophylaxis was applied or not. The thromboembolic event incidence and other pregnancy outcomes were compared.

Results: Nonadministration of thromboprophylaxis was recorded in 210 patients. Eleven patients had thromboembolic events (5%). Among 176 patients who received thromboprophylaxis, only two patients (1%) had a thromboembolic event (p<0.05).

Conclusion: There is an increased tendency to thromboembolism in pregnancy. The incidence increases in the presence of hypertension accompanying pregnancy. In our study, the importance of thromboembolism prophylaxis on peri-postnatal complications in patients with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy was emphasized.

Importance: Chronic hypertension and preeclampsia are leading risk enhancers for maternal-neonatal morbidity and mortality. Severe maternal morbidity (SMM) indicators include heart, kidney, and liver disease, but studies have not excluded patients with preexisting diseases that define SMM. Thus, SMM risks for uncomplicated chronic hypertension specific to preeclampsia remain unclear.

Evidence suggests that sodium nitrite may be effective in the treatment of hypertension and pulmonary hypertension. However, its use remains debated due to safety concerns. In response, a scoping review was conducted to map current knowledge on the efficacy and safety of sodium nitrite in patients with hypertension or pulmonary hypertension, addressing the question: What evidence supports the effectiveness and safety of using sodium nitrite in these patients? The databases MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, and LILACS were searched for clinical studies on hypertensive patients at any disease stage without restrictions on age, sex, ethnicity, publication date, or status.

Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) and portopulmonary hypertension (POPH) are two distinct pulmonary vascular complications seen in patients with liver disease and/or portal hypertension. HPS is characterized by disturbed gas exchange and hypoxemia because of intrapulmonary vascular dilatations. POPH is defined by pulmonary arterial hypertension, which might lead to right heart failure.
