Deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) is a type of clot that forms in a major vein of the leg or, less commonly, in the arms, pelvis, or other large veins in the body. This video shows how in some cases, a clot in a vein may detach from its point of origin and travel through the heart to the lungs where it becomes wedged, preventing adequate blood flow. This is called a pulmonary (lung) embolism and can be extremely dangerous. To learn more about DVT and other blood disorders, visit ASH’s patient-information site www.BloodTheVitalConnection.org. This animation was featured in the documentary film “Blood Detectives.”

www.nucleusinc.com This 3D medical animation shows a blood clot forming in a lower leg vein, creating a deep vein thrombosis, or DVT. When the thrombus breaks free of the valve, it is called an embolus, and travels toward the heart and lungs. The animation ends by showing the embolus lodging in the lung tissue forming a life-threatening pulmonary embolism (PE). See more 3D medical animations from Nucleus Medical Art at http ANC00004

Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism
Pulmonary embolism is a condition that occurs when an artery is blocked in the lungs. In most cases, the obstruction is caused by one or more blood clots that travel to the lungs from another part of your body. Most of them are blood clots in the legs, but they can also form in the veins of the arm, place the right heart, or even at the end of a catheter into a vein. There are other rare causes of clots as well. Pulmonary embolism is caused by blood clots in the venous circulation from the right side of the heart, tumors, blood circulation, or other sources such as amniotic fluid, air, fat, marrow bone is invaded, and foreign bodies. Most pulmonary embolisms are caused by clots of blood from the lower limbs (DVT) and solve many of them. In some cases, a cause of sudden death pulmonary embolism. The symptoms that you can descend on the location and size of blood clots. Breathlessness is the most common symptom. Other symptoms include rapid breathing, anxiety and nervousness, chest pain, numb to the shoulder, arm, neck could, and Kiefer, coughing, spitting blood, or feelings of faintness, and having a rapid heartbeat. Half of the population, pulmonary embolism have no symptoms. If you have symptoms, they may experience difficulty breathing, chest pain or coughing blood. Symptoms of a blood clot are heat, swelling, pain, tenderness and redness of the leg. The goal of treatment is to dissolve blood clots and help clots another. A pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blood clot in the lung. It usually comes from smaller vessels in the leg, pelvis, arms and heart. If a clot forms in the legs or arms, it is called deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The clot travels through the vessels of the lung continues to smaller vessels until it stuck in a building that is too small to achieve, so they continue on. The fibrin clot is trapped and prevented the blood in addition to visit this section of the lung. Is an embolism occurs when foreign objects such as a blood clot or air bubble circulating in the blood and lodged in a blood vessel, blocking blood flow. May embolism in the veins deoxygenated blood back to the heart and lungs and arteries that carry oxygen rich blood from the heart to the body tissues to bear. Pulmonary embolism is the most common causes of blood clots in the veins, especially veins in the legs or pelvis (hip). More rarely, air bubbles, fat droplets May impede the amniotic fluid or groups of parasites and tumor cells of pulmonary vessels. The most common cause of pulmonary embolism is a blood clot in the leg veins, called deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Solve many of their own, although some can cause serious illness or even death. If the blood lost tissue is supplied with oxygen, they die. If this happens in the brain, it can cause permanent brain damage. After the arterial oxygen to all tissues of the body, made the de-oxygenated blood, the heart back into the veins. If embolism in a vein, expanding the pipe system in the same direction as the flow of blood, so its barely flickers.
