Thromboembolism is also known as Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism is a blood clot that occurs within the deep veins of your legs or pelvis. The clot prevents blood from circulating through the vein, allowing pressure to build up. A portion of the clot may break off and travel to your lungs via your bloodstream. It is considered a pulmonary embolism if the clot blocks one or more of the blood vessels in your lungs. DVT is a common problem. The majority of these clots form as blood flow in the legs' veins slows. This is usually as a consequence of inactivity. A pulmonary embolism induces a sudden and often serious reduction in blood flow to the lungs. The reduction of blood flow will reduce the amount of blood that flows to your heart and to the rest of your body. This can cause blood pressure to drop and lead to spells of fainting and even sudden death. In part, blood flow reduces because the blood clot prevents the flow of blood. In addition, the blockage destroys the blood vessel walls of the lungs. The damage releases chemicals that cause the narrowing of blood vessels. Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism: Blood clots can form in your deep veins, which are most commonly found in your legs. This is thrombosis of the deep veins (DVT). They can break free and migrate to your lungs via your bloodstream, where they can obstruct the flow of blood. Pulmonary embolism is called this disorder. It is life threatening and needs medical attention immediately. Because of your genes or family background, you may be at higher risk of DVT. Seating for a long time, such as in a car or on a plane; long-term bed rest; pregnancy; and using birth control pills or hormone replacement are other factors that can increase risk. Medical and surgical pathology (NLM ID: 101689989) deals with the macroscopic and microscopic examination of surgical specimens for effective diagnosis of disease. Surgical specimens are of two categories, biopsies, and surgical resections. Surgical pathology also includes subdivisions such as dermatopathology, cytopathology, hematopathology, neuropathology and pediatric pathology.
