Yaz®/Yasmin®/Ocella and Pulmonary Embolism

Pulmonary embolism occurs when there is a blood clot that has migrated to and becomes lodged in an artery that provides blood to the lungs. When this occurs, the injured person’s oxygen levels can be suppressed leading to medical complications. In some cases, a large pulmonary embolism could result in death or serious permanent injury.

Heart Attack – Coronary Thrombosis

The most common type of heart attack occurs when one of the main coronary arteries becomes blocked and therefore is unable to deliver blood and vital oxygen to the heart muscle. Without oxygen, the portion of the heart muscle served by the blocked is unable to function, potentially leading to catastrophic consequences. 

            Coronary blockages often develop as a result of coronary artery disease – a condition where the coronary arteries have narrowed due to the accumulation of plaque in the arteries. Coupling narrowed coronary arteries with a suppression of the body’s natural ability to dissolve blood clots is believed to increase the risk of coronary thrombosis.

Peripheral Vascular Disorders – Arterial and Venous

Peripheral venous and arterial thromboses are blockages in the arteries and veins that supply blood to the large muscles of the body. Such blockages are often caused by artherosclerosis – a build-up of plaque within the artery or vein that prevents or limits blood from reaching the muscle – but can also occur as a result of a migrating embolus. Deprived of oxygen, the muscle may spasm, cramp, ache or exhibit other signs of ischemia. Deep vein thrombosis is often associated with peripheral vascular disorders.
