Coágulos sanguíneos - Treatment

Nombres alternativos

Trombos; Coágulo; Émbolos

Complicaciones:

Los trombos y émbolos pueden fijarse firmemente a un vaso sanguíneo y pueden bloquear parcial o completamente el flujo de sangre a dicho vaso.

Un bloqueo en el vaso sanguíneo impide que el flujo normal de sangre y oxígeno llegue a los tejidos en ese sitio, lo cual se denomina isquemia. Si la isquemia no se trata oportunamente, puede ocasionar daño tisular o necrosis en esa área.
