Embolism and thrombosis of unspecified artery - what does this mean
Embolism and thrombosis of an unspecified artery is a condition in which a blood clot forms in an artery, blocking the flow of blood to the area supplied by the artery. this can be caused by a variety of factors, including a build-up of fatty deposits in the artery, a tear in the artery wall, or a blood clot that has traveled from another part of the body. in some cases, the clot can be dissolved using medications, while in other cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the clot.
What happens during the disease - embolism and thrombosis of unspecified artery
Embolism and thrombosis of an unspecified artery is a condition in which a blood clot (thrombus) or a foreign body (embolus) lodges in an artery, blocking or partially blocking the flow of blood. this can lead to decreased oxygen delivery to the tissue, causing tissue death, organ failure, or stroke. the risk factors for this condition include smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol. treatment typically involves anticoagulants and/or thrombolytics to dissolve the clot, as well as lifestyle modifications to reduce the risk of recurrence.
