Is it true that platelets form a sticky clot when a blood vessel is cut?
The same process that creates problem blood clots leading to strokes are the same helpful processes that stops bleeding from a cut. The body sends platelets to the area. Platelets create a sticky cohesion between blood components and red blood cells. Macrophages rush to the area to begin cleaning up debris. The bleeding is stopped with the clot; healing begins. In a problem clot inside a blood vessel, the platelets' stickiness attacts more red blood cells. The blood components in the blood stream get caught against the clot, making it thicker. If the clot dislodges, it can travel to the heart or brain. Luckily, with a cut, the body reabsorbs the platelets and red blood cells that stuck together to make the clot. Soon, the clot is gone, the skin heals.

Pulmonary thrombosis is when a blood clot from another part of the body (usually the deep veins of the leg) dislodges from the place of origin and settles somewhere in the lungs. This blocks blood flow into the lungs. It is treated by a clot buster in the short term to bust the clot and if it is a chronic problem they are given Warfarin or something similar to prevent future clots
What complications can occur when a blood clot in the leg dislodges?
If there is a clot in the leg, a DVT (deep vein thrombosis), when it breaks loose it could cause a pulmonary embolus, which is a medical emergency, and if severe enough could cause death.
