Thrombi, or blood clots, form when blood coagulates inside a vein or artery. Though clotting is a natural process to prevent excessive bleeding, abnormal clot formation within the bloodstream can block blood flow to vital organs. This can lead to:
Pulmonary embolism (clot in the lungs)
Stroke (clot in the brain)
Heart attack (clot in the coronary arteries)
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Even a single clot can be fa.ta.l if it blocks oxygen and nutrients from reaching critical areas of the body. That’s why medications linked to increased clotting risks are taken extremely seriously by regulatory agencies.
