Clinical Information
- (throm-bow-sis) the formation or presence of a blood clot inside a blood vessel
- A disorder characterized by occlusion of a vessel by a thrombus that has migrated from a distal site via the blood stream
- Formation, development, or presence of a thrombus
- Obstruction of a blood vessel (embolism) by a blood clot (thrombus) in the blood stream
- Obstruction of a blood vessel with thrombotic material carried by the blood stream from the site of origin to plug another vessel
- Occlusion of the lumen of a vessel by a thrombus that has migrated from a distal site via the blood stream
- Presence of an aggregation of blood factors, primarily fibrin and platelets, (thrombus) in a vein
Applies To
- Embolism of vein
- Thrombosis (vein)
