Zusammenfassung:Background:The aim of the present work was to understand the current circumstances of maternal-death-related venous thromboembolism (MD-VTE) in Japan. We retrospectively investigated the characteristics of cases of MD-VTE, and compared past and present rates of occurrence.Methods and Results:We examined the Japanese data for MD-VTE in 2010–2013, and compared it with that from 1991–1992. MD-VTE occurred in 17 women in 1991–1992, and in 13 women in 2010–2013. The maternal mortality ratio of MD-VTE was 0.7 per 100,000 in 1991–1992 and 0.4 per 100,000 in 2010–2013. Both the maternal mortality ratio and rate of MD-VTE in 2010–2013 deceased significantly compared with 1991–1992 (P
