| ==Overview==
| |
| '''Thrombus''' is term given to a blood clot that remains in the place where it formed. A '''venous thrombosis''' is a condition in which a thrombus([[blood clot]]) forms within a [[vein]]. '''Superficial venous thrombosis''', as the name suggest is the formation of a thrombus in superficial veins. It can cause discomfort but generally do not cause serious consequences, unlike the '''[[deep venous thrombosis]]''' (DVTs) that form in the deep veins of the legs or in the pelvic veins.

| Since the veins return [[blood]] to the [[heart]], a blood clot can dislodge and reach right heart and from there into the lungs. A piece of thrombus that is transported in this way is an '''embolus''' (plural '''emboli'''): the process of forming an emboli from a thrombus is called a '''thromboembolism'''. An embolism that lodges in the lungs is a '''[[pulmonary embolism]]''' (PE). Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) are manifestations of a single disease entity, called, [[venous thromboembolism]] (VTE). A pulmonary embolism is a very serious condition that can be fatal if not recognized and treated promptly.

| A venous embolism can pass into the arterial system in patients with an [[Atrial septal defect]] or [[Ventricular septal defect]], This is termed as a '''''paradoxical emboli''''' or a Systemic embolisms.
