Examples of embolism

• The second group comprised 68 patients with a patent oval foramen and had experienced transient ischemic attacks or cerebral infarctions after presumed paradoxical embolism.

• This suggests that the oviposition rate of a single worm did not cause significant embolism or fibrous changes in tissues.

• It is important to note that complete closure was achieved in all patients with patent oval foramen after presumed paradoxical embolism.

• The four major categories of cerebrovascular disease are atherosclerotic thrombosis, cerebral embolism, lacunae and intracranial hemorrhage.

• Patients severely affected with pulmonary embolism and in shock are treated the same day with thrombolytic (clot-dissolving) drugs, an advanced treatment with risk for hemorrhage.

• Amniotic -uid embolism be relatively equal in each experimental group when analysed at any given point in time, as was done in their data analysis.

• Certainly the fear ofthrombo-embolism appears to be particularly marked and is not helped by the 1-urid reports which appear at times in the press.

• The more serious conditions of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism were investigated in all four studies.
