✔Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot, known as a thrombus, within a blood vessel. It prevents blood from flowing normally through the circulatory system.

✔An Embolism is a blocked artery caused by a foreign body, such as a blood clot or an air bubble. The body's tissues and organs need oxygen, which is transported around the body in the bloodstream.

✔A coronary artery Spasm is a temporary tightening (constriction) of the muscles in the wall of an artery that sends blood to the heart. A spasm can reduce or block blood flow to part of the heart. If a spasm lasts long enough, you can have chest pain (angina) and even a heart attack.

✔An Atheroma (plaque) is a fatty material that builds up inside your arteries. It’s made of cholesterol, proteins and other substances that circulate in your blood. Atheromas grow over time and may lead to coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, heart attack or stroke.

✔Vascular Compression syndromes are a group of conditions that occur when a person's blood vessels are under abnormal pressure, limiting the size of the blood vessel and the amount of blood that flows through it.

✔Vasculitis involves inflammation of the blood vessels. The inflammation can cause the walls of the blood vessels to thicken, which reduces the width of the passageway through the vessel. If blood flow is restricted, it can result in organ and tissue damage.

✔Steal syndrome is caused by a substantial decrease or even reversal of blood flow (“steal”) through the arterial segment distal to the vascular access.

✔Hyperviscosity syndrome occurs when blood thickens and doesn't flow freely through blood vessels. Without treatment, this condition could lead to severe complications, including reduced blood flow to your vital organs.
