This tiny blood clot can quickly become very dangerous. So we’ll do all we can to remove the occlusion, treat the root problem and get you back to a healthy lifestyle.
A pulmonary embolism is a blood clot that develops in a blood vessel elsewhere in the body, travels to an artery in the lung and blocks it. These clots are often the result of a condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT), in which blood clots develop in the leg. This condition is especially common among older women, those who are overweight or obese and who live sedentary lifestyles.
