An air embolism, also called a gas embolismÂ­, occurs when one or more air bubbles enter a vein or artery and block it. When an air bubble enters a vein, itâs called a venous air embolism. When an air bubble enters an artery, itâs called an arterial air embolism. These air bubbles can travel to your brain, heart, or lungs and cause a heart attack, stroke, or respiratory failure. Air embolisms are rather rare.
