A member asked:
Hi doctors, was just wondering what is a bilateral pulmonary embolism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood clots: Pulmonary emboli are blood clots which travel to the lungs, causing blockage of the arteries returning unoxygenated blood. If the clot is big enough, it can block an artery of sufficient size to cause hemodynamic compromise or death.
