  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. Pulmonary embolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_embolism

    CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is a pulmonary angiogram obtained using computed tomography (CT) with radiocontrast rather than right heart catheterization. Its advantages are that it is accurate, it is non-invasive, it is more often available, and it may identify other lung disorders in case there is no pulmonary embolism.

  4. 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.

  6. Catheter ablation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catheter_ablation

    Infection - infections can occur at the catheter insertion site or in the heart tissue. Patients require additional treatment if infection is a complication. Blood clots - catheterization can cause blood clots to form in the vessels. These clots can be thrombotic, possibly causing embolism in major organs.

  7. Coronary thrombosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_thrombosis

    Coronary sinus thrombosis as a severe complication after procedures. [8] The coronary sinus is the venous counterpart to the coronary arteries, where de-oxygenated blood returns from heart tissue. A large thrombus here slows overall blood circulation to heart tissue as well as may mechanically compress a coronary artery. [8]

  8. Reperfusion therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reperfusion_therapy

    Reperfusion therapy is a medical treatment to restore blood flow, either through or around, blocked arteries, typically after a heart attack (myocardial infarction (MI)). Reperfusion therapy includes drugs and surgery. The drugs are thrombolytics and fibrinolytics used in a process called thrombolysis.

    A 30-year-old patient who managed to survive a “widowmaker” heart attack, one of the deadliest forms of a heart attack, had a surgical team remove 6 blood clots during a life saving operation.
