Pulmonary embolism or blood clots in the lungs is a problem which occurs when one or even more arteries in the lungs are blocked. In many cases, blood clots in the lungs are caused by clots of blood that flow to your lungs from another area of the body â most frequently, your legs.
The lungs filter out clots to keep them from going back around to the arterial side. A large blood clot if untreated can kill the tissue distal to where it lodges in the limb--arterial side, your feet, etc., venous side, the lungs and also affects the heart if it is very large.
