An embolus is a blood clot or other substance that travels through the bloodstream and blocks a blood vessel. When a vessel is blocked by an embolus, it can lead to reduced blood flow to tissues and organs supplied by that vessel, potentially causing damage or even tissue death if not promptly addressed. Treatment for a blocked vessel by an embolus may involve medications to dissolve the clot or procedures like thrombectomy to physically remove the blockage.
Ischemia

An angiectomy is the surgical removal of part of a blood vessel.
