Where can thrombus occur?

Thrombus can occur in the arteries of the heart
(coronary artery disease), causing myocardial
infarction or heart attack. It can also occur in the
leg arteries (peripheral arterial disease)
or veins (venous thrombosis), in dialysis access
grafts, or in the brain’s blood vessels,
causing ischemic stroke. When thrombus
migrates to the lungs it is called
a pulmonary embolism.
