Obstruction from a blood clot in the pulmonary artery or one of its branches.
a condition when abnormal blood clots lodge in the lungs.
A blood clot that has passed into and occluded the lung's pulmonary artery. An embolus causes an embolism. In this case, the embolus, a clot or foreign material, has been carried through the blood into the pulmonary artery or one of its branches, plugging the vessel.
a blockage of an artery in the lungs by fat , air, clumped cells, or a
a blood clot in one of the major blood vessels that supplies the lungs
a blood clot that breaks off from a clot in a vein (usually in the leg during a disease called thrombophlebitis) and travels throughout the heart to an artery in the lung, where it lodges
a blood clot that has been carried through the blood into the pulmonary artery (the main blood vessel from the heart to the lung) or one of its branches, plugging that vessel
an embolus that causes obstruction of arterial pulmonary blood flow to the distal lung, commonly resulting in ischemia and infarction of the lung
a potential complication of a deep vein thrombosis
A blood clot in the artery to the lung. The clot frequently develops in the lower extremity at the site of thrombophlebitis and moves ("embolizes") to the lung.
A blood clot that forms in a vein (often in the leg) and moves to the lung, where it deposits and blocks the flow of blood.
Condition in which lung blood circulation in the lung is blocked. ( PE is a potentially life-threatening complication of deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
blockage in the lung, namely a blood clot
Blood clot that travels through the veins and through the heart, eventually occluding one or more pulmonary arteries.
A blood clot that travels from another location and lodges in a pulmonary artery in the lungs. It is characterized by sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, and a rapid heart rate.
an embolus arising from the leg veins or pelvis which blocks the artery to the lungs (may be fatal)
