A blood clot, air, or organic material that is free-flowing in the vascular system is known as an embolus. When an embolus travels through the bloodstream, it can cause blockages in blood vessels, leading to serious medical conditions such as stroke or pulmonary embolism. Depending on its composition, an embolus can be classified as a thrombus (a blood clot), an air embolism, or a fat embolism, among others.
