Abstract

Hereditary and acquired thrombophilia are associated with recurrent miscarriages. Anti-thrombotic therapy can re-establish
the haemostatic balance and improve the prognosis during pregnancy.
In this article, the authors make an introduction to thrombophilia associated with obstetric complications, including some
therapeutic and prophylactic aspects, of thromboembolic events
during pregnancy.
