| cholesterol embolism | Embolism of lipid debris from an ulcerated atheromatous deposit, generally from a large artery to small arterial branches; it is usually small and rarely causes infarction. Synonym: atheroma embolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| miliary embolism | Embolism occurring simultaneously in a number of capillaries. Synonym: multiple embolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| multiple embolism | Embolism caused by the arrest of a number of small emboli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cotton-fibre embolism | Embolism by cotton fibres from sterile gauze used in intravenous medication or transfusion; may form as foreign body granulomas in small pulmonary arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| crossed embolism | Passage of a clot (thrombus) from a vein to an artery. When clots in veins break off (embolise) , they travel first to the right side of the heart and, normally, then to the lungs where they lodge. The lungs act as a filter to prevent the clots from entering the arterial circulation. However, when there is a hole in the wall between the two upper chambers of the heart (an atrial septal defect), a clot can crossparadoxically from the right to the left side of the heart, then pass into the arteries. Once in the arterial circulation, a clot can travel to the brain, block a vessel there, and cause a stroke (cerebrovascular accident). Because of the risk of stroke from crossed embolism, it is usually recommended that even small atrial septal defects be closed (repaired). Also called: paradoxical embolism. (12 Dec 1998) |
| haematogenous embolism | Embolism occurring in a blood vessel. (05 Mar 2000) |
| saddle embolism | A straddling embolism at any vascular bifurcation, e.g., of the aorta which occludes both common iliac arteries. Synonym: pantaloon embolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pyaemic embolism | Plugging of an artery by an embolus detached from a suppurating thrombus. Synonym: infective embolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| straddling embolism | Embolism occurring at the bifurcation of an artery and blocking more or less completely both branches. Synonym: riding embolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| direct embolism | Embolism occurring in the direction of the blood current. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infective embolism | Plugging of an artery by an embolus detached from a suppurating thrombus. Synonym: infective embolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| obturating embolism | Complete closing of the lumen of a vessel by an embolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oil embolism | <orthopaedics> The occurrence of fat globules in the bloodstream following fracture of a long bone, in burns, in childbirth or in association with fatty degeneration of the liver. Symptoms occur when fat globules block vessels within the lung (i.e. Pulmonary embolism) or the cerebral vasculature (i.e. Stroke). Fat embolism after bone fracture generally occurs in the first 3-4 days post fracture and commonly manifests with the signs and symptoms of pulmonary embolism. (27 Sep 1997) |
| embolism | <cardiology, physiology> The sudden blocking of an artery by a clot or foreign material which has been brought to its site of lodgment by the blood current. Origin: L. Embolismus, from Gr. Ballein = to throw (18 Nov 1997) |
| embolism, air | Embolism due to air bubbles entering the blood vessels after trauma, surgical procedures, or changes in atmospheric pressure. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pulmonary embolism |
A condition caused by plugging of blood vessels in the lung by such things as blood clots, tumors, fragments, air bubbles, or fat droplets.

| pulmonary embolism |
Lodging of a blood clot in the lumen (open cavity) of a pulmonary artery, causing a severe dysfunction in respiratory function. Pulmonary emboli often originate in the deep leg veins and travel to the lungs through blood circulation. Symptoms include sudden shortness of breath, chest pain (worse with breathing), and rapid heart and respiratory rates.

| pulmonary embolism |
The most common type of pulmonary embolus is a thrombus that usually has formed in a leg or pelvic vein. Most of those causing serious hemodynamic disturbances form in an iliofemoral vein, either de novo or by propagation from calf vein thrombi. Thromboemboli originate infrequently in the veins of the upper extremities or in the right cardiac chambers. ...

| pulmonary embolism |
A potentially fatal blood clot that travels to the lungs, blocking major arteries. The risk for pulmonary embolism increases after surgery or prolonged bed rest.
