thrombus

n., pl., -bi (-bī).
A fibrinous clot formed in a blood vessel or in a chamber of the heart.

[New Latin, from Greek thrombos, clot.]

(throm′bus)
n

A blood clot in a vessel or in one of the chambers of the heart that remains at the point of its formation.

An aggregation of blood factors, primarily platelets and fibrin with entrapment of cellular elements, frequently causing vascular obstruction at the point of its formation. The lesion and the syndrome produced by the thrombus depend on its location, e.g. pulmonary artery.

• mural t. — one attached to the wall of the endocardium in a diseased area.
• obturating t. — one which continues to grow distal to its site of attachment and the free end trails downstream with the current of blood.
• occluding t. — one that occupies the entire lumen of a vessel and obstructs blood flow.
• parietal t. — one attached to a vessel or heart wall.
• saddle t. — one formed at the terminal aorta and extending into the iliac arteries. Occurs most commonly in cats with arterial thromboembolism.
