Study Notes
Fat Embolism
- Fat globules can enter the pulmonary circulation, causing pulmonary fat embolism
- Common sources of fat embolism include:
- Fractures of long bones, which release bone marrow fat
- Severe fatty liver
- Skin burns
- Severe inflammation of fatty tissues
Thromboembolism
- Thromboemboli are formed from thrombi
- Types of thromboembolism include:
- Pulmonary embolism, resulting from systemic venous thrombi, arterial thrombi, Myocardial infarction, and heart failure
- Portal embolism, which occurs in the splenic radicles
- Systemic embolism, caused by:
- Pulmonary vein thrombosis
- Thrombi of the heart
- Aortic thrombosis
