GlossaryThromboembolism

obstruction of a blood vessel by a traveling blood clot

Thromboembolism refers to the obstruction of a blood vessel by a blood clot (thrombus) that has dislodged from its original site and traveled through the bloodstream to another location. This can lead to serious conditions such as pulmonary embolism, where the clot lodges in the lungs, or stroke, if it blocks blood flow to the brain.
