Abstract

We report two patients with bilateral pulmonary embolism who presented to our county hospital reproductive health services clinic. Both patients underwent an uncomplicated first-trimester aspiration abortion while on therapeutic unfractionated heparin therapy. Anticoagulation therapy may be modified to safely perform first-trimester surgical termination without significant blood loss.
