(MDV; Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Hiroyuki Iwasaki). The analysis revealed a bimodal pattern in the timing of VTE onset, with the first peak occurring during the first trimester (up to 13 weeks of gestation) and the second peak during the third trimester (from 28 weeks onward). The study also found that, even with anticoagulant therapy, some patients experienced recurrence, bleeding events, or in-hospital death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:80px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"716\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/en.mdv.co.jp\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/\u753b\u50cf1-716x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-975\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en.mdv.co.jp\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/\u753b\u50cf1-716x1024.jpg 716w, https:\/\/en.mdv.co.jp\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/\u753b\u50cf1-210x300.jpg 210w, https:\/\/en.mdv.co.jp\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/\u753b\u50cf1-768x1098.jpg 768w, https:\/\/en.mdv.co.jp\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/\u753b\u50cf1.jpg 812w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 716px) 100vw, 716px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Prof. Yugo Yamashita <br>from the research group <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>This study was conducted by a research group led by Yugo Yamashita and Daisuke Baba from the Department of Cardiology at Kyoto University.
