An embolus may be a blood clot, piece of tissue, fat globule, or air bubble. (Compare with Thrombus.)A mass (e.g., foreign body, blood clot, or a piece of tumor) that breaks off and causes occlusion of an artery.A clot brought by the blood from another location where it originated that obstructs the circulation.A blood clot or other substance inside a blood vessel that is carried in the bloodstream to a smaller blood vessel where it becomes an obstruction to circulation.A mass of material which blocks a blood vessel, e.g. a blood clot, air bubble or fat globule.Material inserted into a blood vessel down a catheter to treat internal bleeding.Emboli, clot of blood (thrombus), foreign object, bit of tissue, or air or gas bubble that moves through the bloodstream until it becomes lodged in a vessel, causing an embolism.Substance or mass that stops the flow of a vessel.A mass of clotted blood, fat, calcium crystals, air bubbles, or other material that moves through the bloodstream until it lodges in a narrower blood vessel and blocks circulation.Material, such as a blood clot, fat, air, amniotic fluid, or a foreign body, that is carried by the blood from one point in the circulation to lodge at another point.Substances for example, air, amniotic fluid, blood clot, fat or foreign body that are carried by the blood from a vessel (or vessels) in one part of the body to another part where the matter lodges in a blood vessel causing a blockage.A mass of undissolved matter present in a blood or lymphatic vessel and brought there by the blood or lymph. Emboli may be solid, liquid, or gaseous. Occlusion of vessels from emboli usually results in the development of infarcts.An embolus is a substance that obstructs the normal blood flow within a blood vessel. It can take the form of a gas bubble, blood clot, fat globule, collection of bacteria, or any other foreign object. Typically, an embolus originates from another location within the body and traverses through the circulatory system until it becomes lodged and causes blockage.An embolus refers to a fragment of material, often a blood clot, that travels through the bloodstream and causes obstruction within an artery. When an embolus blocks blood flow through a crucial artery, it becomes life-threatening due to the potential consequences on the affected organ or tissue.A foreign substance in the bloodstream, which can encompass various elements like blood clots, air bubbles, cancer cells, fat, heart valve vegetation, bacterial clusters, or foreign objects such as needles or bullets. These entities enter the circulation and are transported by the bloodstream until they become lodged in and block a blood vessel."}
