carried by the systemic circulation. The mass may be solid‚ liquid or gaseous. The circulation carries the embolus through vessels to parts of the body where it can cause obstruction or occlusion. The Pulmonary Embolism (PE) occurs when the embolism causes an obstruction or occlusion of the pulmonary artery or one of its branches‚ which in turn reverts pressure on the right ventricle. A solid embolus can be a thrombus‚ also known as a blood clot‚ which traveled through the circulation to cause obstruction
