We report a patient with a history of venous thrombosis following oral contraceptive pills who was planned for fertilization (IVF)-intracytoplasmic sperm injection for male factor infertility. This article discusses the mechanisms for predisposition to thrombosis during assisted reproduction in patients at high risk. Assessment of risk before commencement of treatment, use of mild stimulation, antagonist protocol, avoiding ovarian hyperstimulation, use of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist trigger and avoiding exposure to human chorionic gonadotropin, frozen embryo transfer in a natural cycle, single embryo transfer, avoiding multiple pregnancy, and use of prophylactic or therapeutic anticoagulation are the various risk-reduction strategies that must be adopted during IVF treatment to reduce the risk of thrombosis to that of natural conception.

Introduction: Patients with cancer are at higher risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) than the general population as the malignancy itself and treatment modalities, including medication and surgery, contribute to the risk of developing VTE. Furthermore, patients with cancer developing VTE have a worse prognosis than those without cancer. There are no multicentre prospective data on the occurrence and treatment of VTE in patients with cancer in Japan, and data on the outcomes, complications and incidence of VTE in these patients have not been reported.

Venous thromboembolism is a frequent complication of gynecologic cancer, and may be the first symptom of occult malignant disease. Although anticoagulation therapy remains the standard of care in patients presenting with acute venous thromboembolism, inferior vena cava filters are an important alternative when anticoagulants are contraindicated or ineffective. We report a case of a 69-year-old woman who presented with left leg swelling secondary to deep venous thrombosis before the diagnosis of ovarian cancer. Read More

Pregnancies after assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have been associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). On the contrary, the magnitude of this risk in unsuccessful ART cycles (not resulting in a clinical pregnancy) has not yet been clearly defined. In this study, we evaluated the incidence of VTE in unsuccessful cycles and compared it with that recorded in successful cycles in the same study population. Read More

Venous thromboembolism is frequently associated with hormonal factors in women. A thorough medical history taking of vascular risks and an individual evaluation of the risk-benefit ratio should precede any prescription of hormonal therapies. In contrary to progestin-only-pills, estroprogestative contraceptives increase 3-6 times the risk of venous thrombosis. Read More

Objective: To identify the risk of venous thromboembolism recurrence, major bleeding, and mortality in patients with ovarian vein thrombosis so as to better define optimal treatment strategies.
Methods: Patients with ovarian vein thrombosis (1990-2015) and age- and gender-matched patients with contemporary leg deep vein thrombosis (DVT) were assessed for differences in etiology, venous thromboembolism recurrence, and survival in a case-control study.
Results: Over the timeframe of this study, only 219 ovarian vein thrombosis cases were identified compared with 13,417 leg DVTs. Read More

Cancer patients have an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). In this review, we summarize common and cancer type-specific pathways of VTE in cancer patients. Increased levels of leukocytes, platelets, and tissue factor-positive (TF) microvesicles (MVs) are all potential factors that alone or in combination increase cancer-associated thrombosis. Read More

Most ovarian cancer patients are diagnosed in an advanced stage; and after the initial treatment experience disease recurrence, which eventually becomes palliative. Many questions arise in this setting including how to address patients in the palliative setting, how to discuss end-of-life issues, and how to manage symptoms. In this review, we discuss the timing and setting of end-of-life discussion in the context of end-stage ovarian cancer. Read More

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is classified as the association of a thrombotic event and/or obstetric morbidity in patients persistently positive for antiphospholipid antibodies and/or lupus anticoagulant. To evaluate the incidence of subsequent thrombosis among women diagnosed with purely obstetric APS. We retrospectively reviewed and collected demographic and clinical data from the computerized charts of all patients with obstetric APS, from 1992 to 2017. Read More

Pregnancy results in substantial hemodynamic and prothrombotic changes that form the foundation for downstream vascular complications, both during pregnancy and in the postpartum period. In addition, several important risk factors, including older patient age, diabetes, and smoking, can increase the risk for vascular-related pregnancy complications. Because radiologists often play an important role in evaluation of the pregnant patient, understanding the pathophysiology of vascular-related complications in pregnancy and their imaging appearances is essential for diagnostic accuracy.

Background: Mesenteric cyst is a rare clinical entity especially in pregnancy; therefore, few cases have been reported in the literature. The standard method of their treatment is surgical excision either with laparotomy or laparoscopy. In addition, mesenteric vein thrombosis is a rare and life-threatening condition in pregnancy and needs immediate treatment because it can lead to intestinal necrotic ischemia. Read More

BACKGROUND Mucinous ovarian adenocarcinoma is one of the less common epithelial cancers of the ovaries, and typically does not occur in younger women. Nearly all mucinous ovarian adenocarcinomas present with early-stage disease without significant sequelae of cancer, such as clotting. Anchoring bias is a common problem in medicine that has been shown to significantly affect physician decision-making. Read More
