Abstract
Summary: A case of extensive ileofemoral venous thrombosis complicating a twin pregnancy was treated with a Kimray Greenfield inferior vena caval filter to prevent embolism. This is the first report of an inferior vena caval filter being used during pregnancy. Successful management of thrombo‐embolic disease in pregnancy requires accurate diagnosis and aggressive surgical management together with a standardised anticoagulant regimen.
