Thrombosis is a blood clot that develops in a vein (usually in the leg or pelvic region). An embolism is a clot that breaks off and travels to the heart, lungs, or brain.
Yes, veins can get clogged, a condition known as venous thrombosis. Potential consequences of this blockage include pain, swelling, and redness in the affected area. In severe cases, a blood clot can break loose and travel to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism, which can be life-threatening.
my mothers thrombosis was so sevre that she had to get the whole left side of her body cut off
Walking along the aisle in a plane, helps prevent thrombosis.
Anticoagulants are medications that help prevent blood from clotting. They are commonly prescribed to reduce the risk of blood clots, strokes, and heart attacks in individuals with conditions such as atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism. Examples of anticoagulants include warfarin, heparin, and direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs).
The risks associated with central line removal include bleeding, infection, and air embolism. Healthcare providers can prevent air embolism during the procedure by having the patient lie flat, using a sterile occlusive dressing, and asking the patient to perform the Valsalva maneuver.

Venography is primarily performed to diagnose deep vein thrombosis (a condition that can lead to pulmonary embolism ).
Blood clotting disorders are called hypercoagulable states. Hypercoagulable states include conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).
(heart attack, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, or death)
Renal artery occlusion is a blockage of the major arteries that supply blood to the kidneys caused by thrombosis or embolism.

Pulmonary embolism.An Embolism .
embolism is the sudden blockage of a blood vessel by an embolus.
Vena cava filters are usually inserted in to prevent PE caused by a thrombosis in a deep vein (DVT).
A thrombus is a blood clot. It is attached to the wall of the blood vessel. If it dislodges to flow thru the blood stream then the blood clot is called an embolus. Oftentimes the terms 'blood clot and thrombus' are used interchangeably clinically. However, it is important to note that a 'clot' is the result of the coagulation cascade (e.g. such that it can occur in a vial), while a thrombus refers to BOTH the coagulation cascade occurring AND the aggregation of platelets on the side of a vessel.
1) Ischeamic cardiac diseases. 2) thrombosis of veins, which can get dislodged in pulmonary circulation and cause pulmonary embolism. 3) myocardial infarction
Innohep is in a class of drugs called antithrombotic drugs. It helps to prevent blood clots which are caused by deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
