If a clot dislodges and begins circulating in the blood it is?

If a clot dislodges and begins circulating in the blood, it is referred to as an embolus. This can lead to serious complications, as the embolus may obstruct blood flow in vital areas, such as the lungs (pulmonary embolism), brain (stroke), or other organs. Prompt medical attention is crucial to manage the situation and prevent further complications.
