Blocked femoral artery. Coloured angiogram (arterial X-ray) of a blockage (centre right) in the femoral artery (blue) of a leg. Blood flow stops towards the bottom of the femur (thigh bone). This may be caused by thrombosis,abnormal blood clotting,or an embolism. An embolism is due to an embolus,a fragment of material or a bubble of gas. The blockage of the artery may cause pain or tissue death. The angiogram was produced by injecting a radio-opaque dye into the bloodstream | |
