| thrombosis |
(noun) the formation, development, or existence of a blood clot or thrombus within the vascular system. It is life-saving when it occurs during a hemorrhage. It is life threatening when it occurs at any other time because the clot can occlude a vessel and stop blood supply to an organ or a part. The thrombus, if detached becomes an embolus and occludes a vessel at a distance from the original site
