,EMBOLISM
An embolus is a detached intravascular mass that
is carried by the blood from its point of origin to a
distant site, where it often causes tissue
dysfunction or infarction.
This mass may be:
Solid.
Liquid.
Gaseous.
The vast majority of emboli derive from a dislodged
thrombus—hence the term thromboembolism.
