A member asked:
Docs can you explain what is a condition in which a blood clot obstructs a blood vessel?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several: There are several types of blood clots. They can occur in arteries or in veins. Clots in arteries can occur from chronic narrowing or from an embolism (such as a clot coming from the heart). Clots in veins can either be in the superficial or deep veins. Superficial clots are called superficial phlebitis and deep are called dvt. Any clot should be evaluated by a vascular surgeon.
