Thrombosis is a serious condition where one or more clots form inside of your blood vessels. When this happens, the clot can block blood flow where it formed, or it can break loose and move to somewhere else in your body. If a moving clot gets stuck in a critical area, this can cause deadly conditions like stroke and heart attack. Thrombosis can occur in the artery or vein (Arterial and Venous Thrombosis).
