A pulmonary embolism is a sudden occlusion of the branches or trunk of the pulmonary artery by a thrombus (embolus) formed in the right ventricle or atrium of the heart, the venous system of the great circle of circulation and brought with the bloodstream.

As a result, the blood supply to the pulmonary tissue stops.
