Pulmonary embolism or blood clots in the lungs is a problem which occurs when one or even more arteries in the lungs are blocked. In many cases, blood clots in the lungs are caused by clots of blood that flow to your lungs from another area of the body â most frequently, your legs.
When a blood clot stops blood flow to an artery in the heart or brain, a heart attack or stroke can result. Blood clots also can block veins in other parts of the body, causing conditions like varicose veins or pulmonary embolism (a life-threatening blood clot in the lungs). When a blood clot forms and stays where it forms, itâs called a thrombus.
