Do Pulmonary Embolism's Cause Scarring?
Pulmonary embolisms (PE) primarily block blood flow in the lungs, which can lead to damage in lung tissue and potentially contribute to scarring, known as pulmonary infarction. However, not all PEs result in scarring; the extent of damage depends on factors like the size of the embolism, the duration of the blockage, and the individual's overall lung health. If significant lung tissue is affected or if recurrent PEs occur, scarring may develop over time, leading to chronic pulmonary issues.

Why do people die from a pulmonay embolism?
A pulmonary embolism occurs when a blood clot blocks an artery in the lung, cutting off blood flow. This can lead to lung tissue damage, decreased oxygen levels in the blood, and potentially fatal complications such as cardiac arrest. People can die from a pulmonary embolism due to the lack of oxygen reaching vital organs, causing organ failure.
