- Embolization may prove to be an alternative to the surgical removal of the uterus (hysterectomy). Because fibroids have a large blood supply they will tend to shrink or even disappear if this blood supply is interrupted. Multiple fibroids can be treated in the same session.

Embolization It may be pathological (in which sense it is also called embolism), for example a pulmonary embolism, or therapeutic, as a hemostatic treatment for bleeding or as a treatment for some types of cancer by deliberately blocking blood vessels to starve the tumor cells.

Thrombolysis (Redirected from Thrombolytic drug) Thrombolysis is the breakdown (lysis) of blood clots formed in blood vessels, using medication. It is used in ST elevation myocardial infarction, stroke, and very large pulmonary embolisms. The main complication is bleeding (which can be dangerous), and in some situations thrombolysis may therefore be unsuitable.

Translations for Pulmonary Embolism Pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary embolism is a blockage of the main artery of the lung or one of its branches by a substance that has travelled from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream. PE most commonly results from deep vein thrombosis that breaks off and migrates to the lung, a process termed venous thromboembolism.

Medical Definition of Emboli Pulmonary emboli are blood clots that have been carried through the blood into the pulmonary artery (the main blood vessel from the heart to the lung) or one of its branches, plugging that vessel. Emboli is the plural of embolus, a word that comes from the Greek embolos meaning a wedge or plug.

New grads Need Not Apply 1 2 3 4 Next ». Top. 3 First, I would like to congratulate all of the new grads who have been able to secure RN employment in this bleek economy. It is a tough market for a new grad RN. A year experience required or not considering new grads at this time is pretty much the norm.Heck, I even saw a job posting that read, No new grads or nursing home RN..pply everywhere you can. My first nursing job 6 years ago was to a CCU that had one year experience as the desired minimum to apply. You never know how much action a job posting is getting and they may just be willing to spend the extra time training you if they need the position filled but have few applicants.

- Freebase(0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition: Thrombolysis. Thrombolysis is the breakdown of blood clots by pharmacological means. It is colloquially referred to as clot busting for this reason. It works by stimulating fibrinolysis by plasmin through infusion of analogs of tissue plasminogen activator, the protein that normally activates plasmin.

Coiling Endovascular coiling, also called coiling or endovascular embolization, is a procedure to block blood flow into an aneurysm (bulging, weak area in an artery wall). An aneurysm in the brain is also called a cerebral aneurysm, a brain aneurysm or an intracranial aneurysm.

Renal Artery Embolization: Application and Success in Patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma and Angiomyolipoma Renal artery embolization is a technique by which arterial blood flow can either be decreased or completely terminated to prepare a patient with a renal neoplasm more safely for surgical resection (as in the case of renal cell carcinoma) or even treat and prevent life-threatening hemorrhage therapeutically (as in the case of angiomyolipoma).

- (ěm'bə-lĭz'əm) A mass, such as an air bubble, detached blood clot, or foreign body, that travels in the bloodstream, lodges in a blood vessel, and obstructs or occludes it. Also called embolus. The obstruction or occlusion of a blood vessel by such a mass.

Pulmonary embolism (Redirected from Pulmonary Embolism) Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blockage of an artery in the lungs by a substance that has traveled from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream (embolism). Symptoms of a PE may include shortness of breath, chest pain particularly upon breathing in, and coughing up blood.

Homogenization (chemistry) Homogenization (from homogeneous; Greek, homogenes: homos, same + genos, kind) is the process of converting two immiscible liquids (i.e. liquids that are not soluble, in all proportions, one in another) into an emulsion (an emulsion is a type of colloid, which is a substance microscopically dispersed throughout another substance; when both the dispersed and the continuous substances are liquids, the colloid is called an emulsion).

Human Physiology/Print Version Pulmonary embolism is a blockage in one of the pulmonary arteries in your lungs. In most cases, pulmonary embolism is caused by blood clots that travel to the lungs from the legs or, rarely, other parts of the body (deep vein thrombosis). Because the clots block blood flow to the lungs, pulmonary embolism can be life-threatening.

Human Physiology/Print Version Pulmonary Embolism Support Group. By far the most common form of pulmonary embolism is a thromboembolism, which occurs when a blood clot, generally a venous thrombus, becomes dislodged from its site of formation and embolizes to the arterial blood supply of one of the lungs.

emulsification emulsification (in digestion) The breakdown of fat globules in the duodenum into tiny droplets, which provides a larger surface area on which the enzyme pancreatic lipase can act to digest the fats into fatty acids and glycerol. Emulsification is assisted by the action of the bile salts (see bile).

Air embolism Air embolism. An air embolism, also known as a gas embolism, is a blood vessel blockage caused by one or more bubbles of air or other gas in the circulatory system. Air embolisms may also occur in the xylem of vascular plants, especially when suffering from water stress.

- Uterine artery embolization is a minimally-invasive (without a large abdominal incision) technique which involves identifying which arteries supply blood to the fibroids and then blocking off those arteries.terine artery embolization is performed by an interventional radiologist, a doctor specializing in the field of radiology that treats a wide range of internal body conditions without making a surgical incision.

What is Thrombolysis? Thrombolysis is often used as an emergency treatment to dissolve blood clots that form in arteries feeding the heart and brain -- the main cause of heart attacks and ischemic strokes -- and in the arteries of the lungs (acute pulmonary embolism).

- Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a procedure that offers an alternative to traditional surgical removal of uterine fibroids. The procedure may also be referred to as uterine fibroid embolization (UFE). Uterine artery embolization shrinks fibroids by blocking off their blood supply. The blood supply is blocked by injecting very small particles into the arteries that supply the fibroids. The particles stick to the vessel wall and cause a clot to develop, blocking off the blood supply.
