Difference between Embolectomy and Ischemia

Embolectomy vs. Ischemia

Embolectomy is the emergency surgical removal of emboli which are blocking blood circulation. Ischemia or ischaemia is a restriction in blood supply to tissues, causing a shortage of oxygen that is needed for cellular metabolism (to keep tissue alive).

Anticoagulant

Anticoagulants, commonly referred to as blood thinners, are chemical substances that prevent or reduce coagulation of blood, prolonging the clotting time.

Blood vessel

The blood vessels are the part of the circulatory system, and microcirculation, that transports blood throughout the human body.

Catheter

In medicine, a catheter is a thin tube made from medical grade materials serving a broad range of functions.

Dissection (medical)

In medical pathology, a dissection is a tear within the wall of a blood vessel, which allows blood to separate the wall layers.

Embolism

An embolism is the lodging of an embolus, a blockage-causing piece of material, inside a blood vessel.

Embolus

An embolus (plural emboli; from the Greek ἔμβολος "wedge", "plug") is an unattached mass that travels through the bloodstream and is capable of clogging arterial capillary beds (create an arterial occlusion) at a site distant from its point of origin.

Heart

The heart is a muscular organ in most animals, which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system.

Heparin

Heparin, also known as unfractionated heparin (UFH), is medication which is used as an anticoagulant (blood thinner).

Infarction

Infarction is tissue death (necrosis) due to inadequate blood supply to the affected area.

Ischemia

Ischemia or ischaemia is a restriction in blood supply to tissues, causing a shortage of oxygen that is needed for cellular metabolism (to keep tissue alive).

Necrosis

Necrosis (from the Greek νέκρωσις "death, the stage of dying, the act of killing" from νεκρός "dead") is a form of cell injury which results in the premature death of cells in living tissue by autolysis.

Pulmonary embolism

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blockage of an artery in the lungs by a substance that has moved from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream (embolism).

Thrombosis

Thrombosis (from Ancient Greek θρόμβωσις thrómbōsis "clotting”) is the formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood through the circulatory system.

Thrombus

A thrombus, colloquially called a blood clot, is the final product of the blood coagulation step in hemostasis.
