Detailed explanation-1: -A pulmonary embolism (PE) occurs when a blood clot gets stuck in an artery in the lung, blocking blood flow to part of the lung. Blood clots most often start in the legs and travel up through the right side of the heart and into the lungs. This is called deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Detailed explanation-2: -Heart attack: A blood clot that breaks away in an artery can lodge in the heart and cause a heart attack. Stroke: A blood clot that breaks away in an artery can lodge in the brain and cause a stroke.
Detailed explanation-3: -A blood clot that forms in a blood vessel in one area of the body, breaks off, and travels to another area of the body in the blood is called an embolus.
Detailed explanation-4: -An embolism is a blocked artery caused by a foreign body, such as a blood clot or an air bubble. The body’s tissues and organs need oxygen, which is transported around the body in the bloodstream.
