PULMONARY EMBOLISM, X-RAY
Pulmonary embolism. Thoracic x-ray in front view Pulmonary embolism is the brutal obstruction by the thrombus of the pulmonary artery or one of its branches. The thrombus most often arises from a deep vein of the limbs or the pelvis (deep vein thrombosis). Deep vein thrombosis is the formation of thrombus at the level of the leg deep veins. It is more frequent among persons who remain sitted long hours (at work). It is also the pathology of the economy class syndrome (or jet leg), occuring to persons taking frequent long-haul flights. The move of the thrombus into the blood circulation can lead to a pulmonary embolism. The deep vein thrombosis and its consequences, the pulmonary embolism, are brought together under the term thromboembolic disease.
