Detached blood clot. Computer artwork of an embolus (detached blood clot) in a blood vessel. The erythrocytes (red blood cells) in the clot are held together by the protein fibrin (yellow lines). If an embolus becomes lodged in a vessel it stops the flow of oxygen and leads to tissue death. This can be fatal if it lodges in the heart (heart attack),brain (stroke) or lungs (pulmonary embolism) | |
