Embolism is the blockage of a blood vessel by an embolus, such as a clot or air bubble, leading to impaired blood flow and potential tissue damage. It is a medical term used to describe obstruction that originates away from the site and travels to a narrower vessel. The word appears in clinical discussions of stroke, pulmonary embolism, and related vascular events.
