Dear Dr. Roach: During my recent visit with my optometrist, a retinal embolus (a Hollenhorst plaque) was discovered in my right eye. It was stated that this embolus could possibly dislodge, travel to ...

Mechanical extraction of embolic material offers a potential alternative to fibrinolysis, especially for patients in whom fibrinolysis is contraindicated or in whom it has failed. We and others have ...

Thrombosis is when a blood clot, or thrombus, forms in a blood vessel. An embolus is when a clot, fat, air bubble, or other feature travels through blood vessels, with a risk of lodging elsewhere.

Several mechanisms could explain the translocation of embolic material outside the vessel lumen. One possibility is that it occurs by mechanisms similar to the translocation of leukocytes through the ...

Septic emboli are infected blood clots. They break free and travel through the bloodstream, where they get lodged and block a blood vessel. Septic means having a systemic illness caused by an ...

When a clot, known as an embolus, travels through the blood and causes an obstruction, healthcare professionals refer to this as an “embolism.” A cardiac source of embolism is the obstruction of a ...

A thrombus is a blood clot that can be formed in the circulation system and obstruct the flow of blood, which often occurs in areas affected by atherosclerotic plaques. When the thrombus breaks free, ...

Thrombectomy and embolectomy are procedures used to treat two different types of blood clots from blood vessels. A thrombectomy is surgery to remove a stationary blood clot from one of your arteries ...
