A pulmonary embolism (PE) itself does not "burst open," as it is a blockage in a pulmonary artery caused by a blood clot or other material. However, if the clot breaks apart or if new clots form, it can lead to further complications, including the obstruction of additional blood vessels in the lungs. This can exacerbate symptoms and increase the risk of serious health issues, such as respiratory failure. Prompt medical attention is crucial to manage and treat a pulmonary embolism effectively.
