Arterial obstruction refers to the blockage of an artery, which can impede blood flow to various tissues and organs. This obstruction can be caused by a variety of factors, including atherosclerosis (buildup of plaque), blood clots, or external compression. Symptoms may vary depending on the location and severity of the obstruction, potentially leading to conditions such as ischemia or tissue damage. Timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial to restore adequate blood flow and prevent complications.
