Overview
Thrombosis is the formation of a thrombus(medical term for a clot) inside a blood vessel. This can dislodge from the site it was formed and can move along the flow of blood to distant places in the body. A piece of thrombus that is transported in this way is called an embolus (plural emboli). This process of formation an emboli, from a thrombus is called thromboembolism. The term was coined in 1848 by Rudolph Carl Virchow.[1]
