 | | A coronary thrombus will produce chest pain (angina) and may result in a heart attack. | | | A thrombus in the extremities may be treated with bed rest, or on occasion with surgery. | | | A thrombus in the limbs may produce a sharp pain in the affected area and a bluish tinge (associated with lack of circulation) below the clot. |

| | This can be contrasted with a "thrombus" which is the formation of a clot within a blood vessel, rather than being carried from elsewhere. | | | Emboli starting in the heart (from a thrombus in the left atrium secondary to atrial fibrillation or septic emboli from endocarditis) can cause emboli in any part of the body. | | | In medicine, an embolism occurs when an object (the embolus) or objects (emboli) migrate from one part of the body (through the circulation) and cause(s) a blockage (occlusion) of a blood vessel in another part of the body. |

| | The mainstay of thrombus management is a regimen of pharmacological therapy that includes thrombolytics to dissolve the clot and anticoagulants to prevent clotting. | | | Although anticoagulant therapy is highly effective, two thirds of the patients who die from pulmonary embolism succumb abruptly or before the therapy can take effect. | | | Preclinical and early clinical studies have demonstrated effective removal of thrombus and restoration of blood flow. |

| | Under normal conditions, thrombus is confined to the immediate area of injury and does not obstruct flow to critical areas. | | | Thrombus that has propagated where it is not needed can obstruct flow in critical vessels and can obliterate valves and other structures that are essential to normal hemodynamic function. | | | Abnormal thrombosis can occur in any vessel at any location in the body. |

| | Thrombosis : Thrombus |
| | The formation of a thrombus is usually caused by an injury to the vessel's wall, either by trauma or infection, and by the slowing or stagnation of blood flow past the point of injury. | | | Thrombosis is the formation of a clot or thrombus inside a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood. | | | If a bacterial infection is present at the site of thrombosis, the thrombus may break down, spreading particles of infected material throughout the circulatory system (pyaemia[?]) and setting up metastatic abscesses wherever they come to rest. |
