We thank Drs. De Stefano, Grandone, and Martinelli for their comments on our chapter in the 2012 edition of the American College of Chest Physicians Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines on Antithrombotic Therapy and Prevention of Thrombosis [1]. Modification of our guidelines for antepartum prophylaxis in women with prior venous thromboembolism and in those with asymptomatic thrombophilia was based not on new data, but on a careful reappraisal of the available literature and development of recommendations through rigorous use of the GRADE system [2]. A similar process in 2008 led to significant modifications in our guidance for anticoagulant management of pregnant women with mechanical prosthetic heart valves [3].
