Splenic infarction. Splenic infarction is a condition in which blood flow supply to the spleen is compromised, [ 1 ] leading to partial or complete infarction (tissue death due to oxygen shortage) in the organ. [ 2 ] Splenic infarction occurs when the splenic artery or one of its branches are occluded, for example by a blood clot.
Coronary thrombosis is most commonly caused as a downstream effect of atherosclerosis, a buildup of cholesterol and fats in the artery walls. The smaller vessel diameter allows less blood to flow and facilitates progression to a myocardial infarction. Leading risk factors for coronary thrombosis are high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ...

Left ventricular thrombus is a blood clot ( thrombus) in the left ventricle of the heart. LVT is a common complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). [1] [2] Typically the clot is a mural thrombus, meaning it is on the wall of the ventricle. [3] The primary risk of LVT is the occurrence of cardiac embolism, [1] [4] in which the thrombus ...
After nearly six months of negotiations and several court rulings, Medicare and drugmakers agreed on new prices for 10 popular drugs, saving users $1.5 billion in out-of-pocket costs.
Thrombus. A thrombus ( pl. thrombi ), colloquially called a blood clot, is the final product of the blood coagulation step in hemostasis. There are two components to a thrombus: aggregated platelets and red blood cells that form a plug, and a mesh of cross-linked fibrin protein. The substance making up a thrombus is sometimes called cruor.
Arterial embolism is a sudden interruption of blood flow to an organ or body part due to an embolus adhering to the wall of an artery blocking the flow of blood, [ 1] the major type of embolus being a blood clot ( thromboembolism ). Sometimes, pulmonary embolism is classified as arterial embolism as well, [ 2] in the sense that the clot follows ...
Thrombophilia. An ultrasound image demonstrating a blood clot in the left common femoral vein. Thrombophilia (sometimes called hypercoagulability or a prothrombotic state) is an abnormality of blood coagulation that increases the risk of thrombosis (blood clots in blood vessels). [ 1][ 2] Such abnormalities can be identified in 50% of people ...
