Based on the study of the materials of 13,000 autopsies made in 1962--1979 at the Pathology Department of the Chair of Pathological Anatomy of the I. M. Sechenov First Medical Institute, an increase in the rate of thromboembolic complications (TEC) was established predominantly in diseases of the cardiovascular system (atherosclerosis, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, rheumatic disease, protracted bacterial endocarditis). The analysis of 8157 autopsies with TEC revealed general regularities of changes in TEC structure in different diseases irrespective of their pathogenetic differences: predominance in the last two decades of venous thrombs, thromboemboly of the pulmonary artery and pulmonary infarction; prevalence of senescent and senile people among patients with TEC, and women among them (with the exception of protracted bacterial endocarditis).
