Case Study 2, cont.
• During hospitalization blood collected for evaluation of
hereditary thrombophilia
• Referred to hematologists Protein C Deficiency
• Completed a 9 month course of Coumadin therapy
• No further embolic events
• Current method of oral contraceptive therapy Depo-

What is Venous Thromboembolism (VTE)
• Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)-blood clot forms in the
deep veins of lower leg, thigh, pelvis, or arms.
• Pulmonary Embolism (PTE)- most often caused by a
blood clot that travels to the lungs from legs, thigh, pelvis, or heart.
Why?
– Each year 350,000 to 900,000 Americans develop first DVT.
– Estimated that 60,000 – 100,000 Americans die of DVT/PE annually.
– 10 to 30% will die within one month of being diagnosed.
– One-third (33%) of those with a DVT/PE will have recurrence within 10 years.
– Approximately 5 to 8% of the U.S. population has inherited thrombophilia.
– One-half of those who develops a DVT/PE will have long-term complications.

At Risk Population
– Over age 65 (increase risk after age 40) – Overweight BMI >30 – Family history of blood clots – Pregnancy or recent delivery – Oral contraception – Hormone replacement therapy – Extended immobility or sitting
longer than 4 hours during travel – Previous VTE – Thrombophilia – Active Cancer
Risk Factors for VTE

Family history Advanced Age Pregnancy
Factor V Leiden
Thrombophilia
Antiphospholipid

When?
• Venous Stasis
• Hypercoagulability
• Endothelial Damage
Virchow’s Triad
VTE and Estrogen
• Estrogen facilitates increased levels of Procoagulant factors:
–Fibrinogen
–Factors VII
–Factors VIII
–Factor X
2/18/2015

VTE and Estrogen
• Estrogen facilitates a decrease in coagulation inhibitors:
–Antithrombin
–Protein S
–Protein C resistance
Resulting in a hypercoagulable state and increase risk VTE

Contraceptive Use Among American Women
Oral Contraception Agents and VTE
• VTE risk varies among combined oral contraceptive therapy considering the type of Progestin and the dose of Estradiol.
• Activated protein C resistance appears to be higher among users of Desogestrel (DSG), Drospirenone (DRSP), and Cyproterone acetate (CPA).

History and Physical
• Women should be screened for contraindications to specific contraceptive therapies.
• A comprehensive H&P can facilitate identifying contraindications to Combined Hormonal Contraceptive Therapy
• Identifying co-morbid conditions: Hypertension, DM, CHF, Obesity.
Lessons Learned
• The best contraceptive strategy is to use the safest therapy considering risk for VTE, past medical history, and family history.
• Goal of a detailed H&P is to match patients with the most appropriate contraceptive method with the lowest risk for complications.
• Preoperative considerations of discontinuing contraceptive therapy.
