A foreign body embolism occurs when a non-vascular material, such as a piece of tissue, a medical device, or air, enters the bloodstream and travels to a distant site, causing obstruction in blood flow. This can lead to significant complications, including tissue ischemia or infarction, depending on where the embolism lodges. Common sources include surgical instruments, catheters, or fragments from injected substances. Prompt diagnosis and intervention are crucial to mitigate potential damage.
