Thromboembolism - Symptoms, Types, Causes, Complications & Prevention
By Pace Hospitals November 24, 2023
Thromboembolism is a serious condition that occurs when a blood clot forms in a vein and then breaks off and travels to another part of the body, blocking blood flow. The two types of thromboembolism include venous thromboembolism (VTE) and thromboembolic arterial disease (TAD). There are a number of factors that can increase your risk of developing thromboembolic complications. The treatment for thromboembolic complications depends on the location and severity of the clot. However, some common treatments include Anticoagulants, Thrombolytics & Surgery.

Pulmonary Thromboembolism (PE) occurs when a blood clot, usually from the legs (deep vein thrombosis), travels to the lungs, blocking a pulmonary artery. This can lead to serious complications, including breathing difficulties and reduced blood flow. PE is commonly caused by prolonged immobility, surgery, or certain medical conditions. Diagnosis involves imaging tests like a CT pulmonary angiography and blood tests such as D-dimer. Treatment typically includes anticoagulant medications to prevent clot formation, and in severe cases, thrombolytics or surgical interventions may be required to remove the clot. Early detection is crucial for effective management.
