What is a pulmonary embolism?
Can you please tell me what a pulmonary embolism is?
Certainly. A pulmonary embolism is a blockage in one of the pulmonary arteries in your lungs. This typically occurs when a blood clot from another part of your body, often your legs or pelvis, breaks off and travels through the bloodstream to your lungs.
