Pregnancy is one of the main risk factors for the development of venous thromboembolic disease (VTED). The objective of this work was to analyze the diagnostic and therapeutic elements of venous thrombosis in pregnant women followed at the Centre médical Diamant in Lubumbashi (CMDL). This is a descriptive cross-sectional study over a period of 27 months at CMDL in DR Congo, including all pregnant women followed for venous thrombosis during the study period. Data analysis was done by SPSS 22.0 software. The prevalence of VTED was 5.2% with a mean age of 27 ± 3 years (Extreme: 21 to 42 years). The telltale signs were dominated by asymmetric swelling of the lower limb (27.3%) and the main location was femoro-popliteal (63.6%). Superficial venous thrombosis was predominant with 54.5%. The diagnosis of VTE was supported by measurement of D-dimer in 100% of cases, confirmed by Doppler ultrasound in 81.8% of cases. Associated factors were non-O blood group (45.5%), history of miscarriages (27.3%), family history (18.2%), age over 35 years (18.2%), multiparity (27.3%) and gestational diabetes (18.2%). The treatment combined low molecular weight heparin in 72.7%. The mean duration of treatment was 28 days (range: 18-42 days). The outcome was favorable in 63.6% of cases. Venous thrombosis in pregnancy remains a major challenge in our environment because the risk factors and specific determinants are not known, there is no preventive or curative protocol adapted to our working conditions. Further, more in-depth studies are needed to optimize and rationalize care.
