A fibrinous clot formed in a blood vessel or in a chamber of the heart.
An aggregation of blood factors, primarily platelets and fibrin with entrapment of cellular elements, frequently causing vascular obstruction at the point of its formation. Some authorities thus differentiate thrombus formation from simple coagulation or clot formation.
A stationary blood clot.
The blood clot itself The mass of blood coagulated in situ in the heart or other blood vessel. For example, such a clot causes a heart attack when the coagulation occurs in the vessels feeding the heart.
Blood clot formed along the wall of a blood vessel or in a cavity of the heart. It may be of sufficient size to obstruct blood flow; or all, or a portion, of it may break off to become an embolus.
A blood clot attached to the interior wall of a blood vessel, often causing vascular obstruction.
A blood clot that forms inside a blood vessel.
A blood clot that obstructs a blood vessel or cavity in the heart.
Thrombi, blood clot attached to the interior wall of a vein or artery.
A blood clot. Usually describing the formation of a clot within a vessel obstructing the flow of blood, but it can also describe blood which has escaped from a damaged vessel and clotted in the surrounding tissue.
A blood clot that adheres to the wall of a blood vessel or organ. In many cases it may obstruct the vessel or organ in which it resides, preventing the flow of blood. Anticoagulants are used to prevent and treat this condition.
A thrombus, or blood clot, that develops within an undamaged blood vessel can be life-threatening if it blocks the blood supply to critical organs like the heart or brain. Such a clot can also result in gangrene, or tissue death, in an organ or limb. Additionally, there’s the risk of embolism, where a piece of the clot dislodges and travels through the bloodstream to obstruct circulation in another part of the body.
A blood clot that forms inside the heart or blood vessels, often resulting from slowed circulation or changes in the blood or the vessel walls.
