A blood clot in the lung, also known as a pulmonary embolism, typically forms when a blood clot from another part of the body, such as the legs, breaks loose and travels to the lungs through the bloodstream. This can happen due to factors like prolonged immobility, surgery, certain medical conditions, or genetic predisposition. Once in the lungs, the blood clot can block blood flow, leading to serious complications.

A blood clot in the heart could affect the lungs in a number of ways. It could potentially block the pulmonary artery and prevent blood from traveling from the heart to the lung. That would reduce the amount of nutrients reaching that lung and the lung could suffer damage. The blood clot could also travel into the lung (if it is small enough to move through the pulmonary artery) and block blood flow into and out of the lung. The person usually feels short of breath and may cough up blood if that happens. This is called a pulmonary embolism and can be fatal if untreated.

What is the relationship between venous thrombosis and pulmonary emboli?
'venous thrombosis' is a blood clot in a vein. Sometimes these blood clots can break off from where there are and travel 'embolize' to the lung 'pulmonary'. When the blood clot travels to the lung, it will get stuck in an vessel in the lung and block flow in that branch of the blood vessel. In some medical studies, as many as 40% of people with blood clots in their legs or pelvis will have a PE, or pulmonary embolis. These are often small and go un-noticed. Unfortunately they can also be very serious and even lead to death.
