Abstract
The authors present the case of a nulliparous 34-year-old patient. At the tenth week of gestation, she developed phlebothrombosis of veins of the right leg and massive pulmonary embolism. After thrombolytic and heparin therapy she developed rethrombosis and heparin- induced thrombocytopenia type II. Lepirudin was introduced in therapy and in the 12th week of gestation acenocumarol was added. After the 34th week, she received danaparoid sodium. After a week, by cesarean section, a healthy and mature female was delivered.
