Introduction: To date, numerous studies have evaluated the risk factors and treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) during pregnancy. The present study aimed to compile and present the latest guidelines related to the management and diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in pregnant women.   Methods: In the present study, around ۱۰۰ articles indexed from ۲۰۰۰ were retrieved from local and international databases using keywords, including "pregnancy", "DVT", "VTE", "anticoagulation", and "coagulopathy". Results: The current study examined the pathophysiology of DVT in pregnancy, risk factors, clinical signs, diagnosis, and treatment of DVT in pregnancy.   Conclusion: Women during pregnancy and postpartum period represent one of the highest risk groups for DVT. The treatment and supportive measures are of paramount importance to reduce the risk and complications of this disease. Nonetheless, they are not devoid of serious challenges since the possible complications which can occur to the fetus and maternal health during pregnancy should be taken into account in treatment.
