Arterial embolism is a condition where a blood clot or other material (such as fat or air) travels through the bloodstream and blocks an artery, disrupting blood flow to organs or tissues. This blockage can cause sudden pain, numbness, or even tissue death if left untreated. Commonly affected areas include the legs, kidneys, or brain. Treatment typically involves anticoagulants to prevent further clotting, and in some cases, surgical intervention or thrombolysis to remove the embolus and restore blood flow.
