Embolism and thrombosis is "a collective term for pathological conditions which are caused by the formation of a blood clot (thrombus) in a blood vessel, or by blocking of a blood vessel with an embolus, undissolved materials in the blood stream."[1]

Classification

Treatment

For more information, see: anticoagulant.

Embolism and thrombosis may be prevented by anticoagulation with anticoagulants.

Prevention

Among patients with cancer, anticoagulation does not help in the primary prevention of embolism and thrombosis.[2]
