2. Left ventricular thrombus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_ventricular_thrombus

   [1] [2] Typically the clot is a mural thrombus, meaning it is on the wall of the ventricle. [3] The primary risk of LVT is the occurrence of cardiac embolism, [1] [4] in which the thrombus detaches from the ventricular wall and travels through the circulation and blocks blood vessels. Blockage can be especially damaging in the heart or brain .

3. Coronary thrombosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_thrombosis

   This blood clot may then restrict blood flow within the heart, leading to heart tissue damage, or a myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack. [ 1 ] Coronary thrombosis is most commonly caused as a downstream effect of atherosclerosis , a buildup of cholesterol and fats in the artery walls.

4. Splenic infarction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splenic_infarction

   Splenic infarction occurs when the splenic artery or one of its branches are occluded, for example by a blood clot. [3] In one series of 59 patients, mortality amounted to 5%. [3] Complications include a ruptured spleen, bleeding, an abscess of the spleen (for example, if the underlying cause is infective endocarditis) or pseudocyst formation ...

5. Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_thromboembolic...

   Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a long-term disease caused by a blockage in the blood vessels that deliver blood from the heart to the lungs (the pulmonary arterial tree). These blockages cause increased resistance to flow in the pulmonary arterial tree which in turn leads to rise in pressure in these arteries ...

6. Thrombolysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombolysis

   Thrombolysis, also called fibrinolytic therapy, is the breakdown of blood clots formed in blood vessels, using medication. It is used in ST elevation myocardial infarction, stroke, and in cases of severe venous thromboembolism (massive pulmonary embolism or extensive deep vein thrombosis). [citation needed]

8. Atherosclerosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atherosclerosis

   The result is the formation of a thrombus (blood clot) overlying the atheroma, which obstructs blood flow acutely. With the obstruction of blood flow, downstream tissues are starved of oxygen and nutrients. If this is the myocardium (heart muscle) angina (cardiac chest pain) or myocardial infarction (heart attack) develops. [citation needed]
