Description
A clot that starves a limb is rare in pregnancy, and a team in 2026 tell of one that struck early, where almost none are seen. Lorenzo Annesi and seven co-authors pair the case with a sweep of past tales. Most past cases came late in pregnancy or just after birth, and most traced to clots flung from a weak heart around delivery. Their case had no such source: no heart flaw, no clot trait found, no vessel trap.
The woman did carry a stack of plain risk marks, and the course grew harder with a pressure ill and bleeding after birth. The team read pregnancy's own clot lean, laid on those marks, as enough to spark an artery clot. They call for risk checks that count artery clots, not just the vein kind all guides name.
