On the vein side of the circulation, a blood clot which has broken free of its attachment site and traveled to the heart and lungs (embolism). This may result in immediate cardiac arrest.

Sudden occlusion of a pulmonary artery resulting in disruption of blood supply to the lung parenchyma.
an obstruction in lung from a clot that has travelled through the body; impairs breathing ability and can be lethal; abbreviated as P.E.
Condition where blood clots dislodge from the leg or other part of the body and travel to the lung.

a blockage of an artery in the lung, usually due to a blood clot that traveled to the lung from the leg
a blockage of a pulmonary artery (major blood vessel in the lung) by a fragment of material
a blockage or closure caused by a clot of an artery in the lung
a blocked artery in the lungs that is generally caused when a blood clot or a portion of a clot from another part of the body travels to the lungs
a blood clot, fat, tumor, tissue or air that lodges itself in the lungs and blocks a pulmonary artery, causing reduced blood supply to the lungs and heart
a blood clot that becomes trapped in a blood vessel to your lungs (usually it starts deep in your leg and breaks off into your blood stream)
a blood clot that blocks an artery in your lungs
a blood clot that has entered the lungs
a blood clot that has floated through the bloodstream and lodged in the lungs
a blood clot which forms in a leg vein, breaks off, and travels to the lungs
a blood clot which has lodged in one of the blood vessels which supplies the lungs
a clot blocking the arteries from the heart to the lungs
a life-threatening condition in which a blood clot travels from the legs to the lungs
an embolism that occurs in the lung
a sudden blockage in a lung artery Chronic Beryllium Disease is a serious and sometimes fatal lung disease
a sudden blockage in a lung artery, usually due to a blood clot that traveled to the lung from the deep veins of the leg
The result of a circulating blood clot becoming lodged in a pulmonary artery.
A clot that is in the blood vessels in the lungs, making it difficult to breathe. Pulmonary embolism may be fatal.
A blockage of pulmonary blood vessels resulting in shortness of breath or respiratory distress. It may be a hazard during liposuction
a blood clot that may become dislodged from the veins of the leg and travel to the lung where it can cause respiratory distress or respiratory failure.
A blood clot in the lung. It usually comes from smaller vessels in the leg, pelvis, arms, or heart.
Lodging of a blood clot in the lumen (open cavity) of a pulmonary artery, causing a severe dysfunction in respiratory function. Pulmonary emboli often originate in the deep leg veins and travel to the lungs through blood circulation. Symptoms include sudden shortness of breath, chest pain (worse with breathing), and rapid heart and respiratory rates.
A blood clot in the lungs, which can very rapidly lead to sudden death
The obstruction of the pulmonary artery or a branch of it leading to the lungs by a blood clot, usually from the leg, or foreign material causing sudden closure of the vessel. (Embolus is from the Greek "embolos" meaning plug.) See the entire definition of Pulmonary embolism
An embolism that lodges in the pulmonary artery or its branches. See larger view
blockage of the pulmonary artery or its branches by a clot (embolus)
Closure or narrowing of the pulmonary artery or one of its branches by an embolism.
a condition in which a blood clot from a deep vein in the leg has broken off and traveled through the veins and heart into the lung
cardiology The lodgment of a blood clot in the lumen of a pulmonary artery , causing a severe dysfunction in respiratory function . - Pulmonary emboli often have origin in the veins of the lower extremities where clots form in the deep leg veins and then travel to the lungs via the venous circulation . - Symptoms and features include acute onset of shortness of breath , chest pain ( worse with breathing ) and rapid heart rate and respiratory rate . Some individuals may have haemoptysis . Diagnosis can be made on a ventilation perfusion scan of the lung or on a pulmonary angiogram .
Blockage of the artery that connects the heart and the lungs.
The occlusion of the pulmonary artery or one of its branches by an embolus
a clot that goes into your lungs making it difficult to breathe.
A potentially fatal blood clot that travels to the lungs, blocking major arteries. The risk for pulmonary embolism increases after surgery or prolonged bed rest. uickening: A woman's first experience of fetal movement. Quickening usually occurs between 16 and 20 weeks of pregnancy. h factor: A group of antigens present in the red blood cells.
obstruction or occlusion of a pulmonary artery of the lung, most frequently caused by blood clots from a leg or pelvic vein.
A blood clot from a deep vein, usually in the legs, pelvis, or arms, that breaks loose and travels through the veins and then through the heart to lodge in the blood vessels in the lung. Large pulmonary emboli can be life-threatening and may need to be treated with fibrinolytic therapy, such as tPA (referred to as "clot-busters").
Blockage of artery which connects the heart and the lungs.
Blockage of a pulmonary (lung) blood vessel caused by the lodging of a clot from elsewhere in the body.
The Condition"...The immediate treatment for pulmonary embolism is anticoagulant therapy to dissolve the clot and return blood flow..."
Obstruction or closing of pulmonary (relating to the lungs) arteries, most frequently by detached fragments of a blood clot from a leg or pelvic vein, commonly when the formation or presence of a clot has followed an operation or confinement to bed.
Pulmonary embolism is a blockage of an artery in the lungs by a blood clot, fat, air or clumped tumor cells. By far the most common form of pulmonary embolism is a thromboembolism, which occurs when a blood clot, generally a venous thrombus, becomes dislodged from its site of formation and embolizes to the arterial blood supply of one of the lungs.
