Pulmonary Embolism Death. Sometimes a blood clot can move into a major blood vessel and cause blockage. This condition is pulmonary embolism, which can cause life-threatening complications in case the clot is large. Usually, the clots are small but they can still cause damage to the lung.
A pulmonary embolism may be serious and life threatening. Each year, more than 100,000 cases of pulmonary embolism occur in the United States (Source: NHLBI). Deep vein thrombosis is the primary cause of pulmonary embolism. In deep vein thrombosis, blood clots form in the large veins of the legs. A blood clot may break free in a leg vein and travel through the bloodstream to the lungs, where it can cause symptoms by blocking an artery. Search Now.
