What is the relationship between venous thrombosis and pulmonary emboli?
'venous thrombosis' is a blood clot in a vein. Sometimes these blood clots can break off from where there are and travel 'embolize' to the lung 'pulmonary'. When the blood clot travels to the lung, it will get stuck in an vessel in the lung and block flow in that branch of the blood vessel. In some medical studies, as many as 40% of people with blood clots in their legs or pelvis will have a PE, or pulmonary embolis. These are often small and go un-noticed. Unfortunately they can also be very serious and even lead to death.

Typically, a clot forms in a small blood vessel within the brain that has been previously narrowed due to a variety of risk factors including:high blood pressure (hypertension),high cholesterol,diabetes, andsmoking.ashna and sienna roxIt could also be caused by a hole in the heart which is called a PFO.
