A member asked:
I was wondering is atherosclerosis thrombosis but in the early stages before getting blocked?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Atherosclerosis: As far as we know atherosclerosis and thrombosis are separate problems. Thrombosis often complicates athersosclerotic lesions. When a minor plaque ruptures and thrombosis results the vessel may become occluded or the atheroma may progress more rapidly than if the thrombus hadn't occurred.
