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
