A pulmonary embolus (blood clot to the lung) is usually a small clot that forms somewhere else in the body (usually the legs) and travels through the blood stream until it blocks a major blood supply to the lungs. This prevents normal oxygen exchange and can result in death if not taken care of immediately. I've reference the Medline page if you need more information, especially regarding treatment.
