2. Thrombosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombosis

   Thrombosis (from Ancient Greek θρόμβωσις (thrómbōsis) 'clotting') is the formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood through the circulatory system. When a blood vessel (a vein or an artery) is injured, the body uses platelets (thrombocytes) and fibrin to form a blood clot to prevent blood loss ...

   Since the blood clots now completely covered my lungs, the X-ray showed no contrast." The x-ray didn't show a contrast, but his Apple Watch was still on high alert, telling him his blood oxygen ...

4. Pulmonary embolism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_embolism

   Massive PE causing hemodynamic instability (shock and/or low blood pressure, defined as a systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg or a pressure drop of 40 mmHg for >15 min if not caused by new-onset arrhythmia, hypovolemia, or sepsis) is an indication for thrombolysis, the enzymatic destruction of the clot with medication. In this situation, it is the ...

5. Deep vein thrombosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_vein_thrombosis

   Rarely, a clot in the inferior vena cava can cause both legs to swell. [26] Superficial vein thrombosis, also known as superficial thrombophlebitis, is the formation of a blood clot (thrombus) in a vein close to the skin. It can co-occur with DVT and can be felt as a "palpable cord". [20]

6. Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension - Wikipedia

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

   The blockages may also result from scar tissue that forms at the site where the clot has damaged the endothelial lining of the pulmonary arteries, causing permanent fibrous obstruction (blood flow blockage). [8] Most patients have a combination of microvascular (small vessel) and macrovascular (large vessel) obstruction.

7. Thromboembolism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thromboembolism

   Thromboembolism is a condition in which a blood clot breaks off from its original site and travels through the bloodstream (as an embolus) to obstruct a blood vessel, causing tissue ischemia and organ damage. Thromboembolism can affect both the venous and arterial systems, with different clinical manifestations and management strategies.

8. Left atrial appendage occlusion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_atrial_appendage...

   This chaotic pattern of contraction can lead to reduced pumping efficiency and subsequent formation of blood clots, most notably in the left atrial appendage. [1] Over 90% of stroke-causing clots that originate in the heart in patients with non-valvular AF are formed in the left atrial appendage.

9. Thrombotic storm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombotic_storm

   Typically, blood clots develop in the deep veins of the lower extremities, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or as a blood clot in the lung, pulmonary embolism. A very small number of people who develop blood clots have a more serious and often life-threatening condition, known as thrombotic storm (TS). TS is characterized by the development of more ...
