Guest
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common and often fatal disease and an obstruction of a blood vessel in the lungs,usually due to a blood clot, which blocks a coronary artery. Pulmonary embolism is a blockage in an artery in the lung. It is usually due to a blood clot that has traveled to the lung from another part of the body, usually the leg.
It may be the cause of cancer.
