- In pregnant women with suspected PE, D-dimer is not recommended for excluding PE (weak recommendation, very-low-quality evidence).
- In pregnant women with suspected PE and signs and symptoms of deep venous thrombosis (DVT), performing bilateral venous compression ultrasound (CUS) of lower extremities, followed by anticoagulation treatment if positive and by further testing if negative (weak recommendation, very-low-quality evidence).
- In pregnant women with suspected PE and no signs and symptoms of DVT, vascular imaging should be used over bilateral lower extremity ultrasounds(weak recommendation, very-low-quality evidence).
