Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot (thrombus) within a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood. It can occur in various locations in the body, including:
1. Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): This occurs when a blood clot forms in the deep veins of the legs or pelvis.
2. Pulmonary Embolism (PE): It happens when a blood clot from DVT breaks off and travels to the lungs, blocking blood flow.
3. Coronary Thrombosis: This occurs when a blood clot forms in the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscle.
4. Cerebral Thrombosis: It happens when a blood clot forms in the cerebral arteries, leading to a stroke.
5. Peripheral Arterial Thrombosis: This occurs when a blood clot forms in the arteries of the arms, legs, or feet.
The function of thrombosis is to prevent excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is damaged. However, when thrombosis occurs inappropriately or excessively, it can lead to serious health complications, such as tissue damage, organ failure, or even death.
