What are the differences between arterial and venous thrombosis?
Arterial thrombosis is associated with an atherosclerotic plaque being ruptured. It is hence associated with high pressure arteries. The thrombus is made of many platelets and contains little fibrin. It can lead to stroke or acute myocardial infarction in the most severe cases. Venous thrombosis is caused by vessel injury or static blood flow in a low-pressure venous system. The thrombus is made of fibrin and red blood cells with very little platelets. It can detach to form an embolus and may cause pulmonary embolism.

What is the relationship between venous thrombosis and pulmonary emboli?
'venous thrombosis' is a blood clot in a vein. Sometimes these blood clots can break off from where there are and travel 'embolize' to the lung 'pulmonary'. When the blood clot travels to the lung, it will get stuck in an vessel in the lung and block flow in that branch of the blood vessel. In some medical studies, as many as 40% of people with blood clots in their legs or pelvis will have a PE, or pulmonary embolis. These are often small and go un-noticed. Unfortunately they can also be very serious and even lead to death.
What is the difference between the blood in most veins and in most arteries?
The primary differences between venous blood and arterial blood are that arterial blood is oxygenated, under great pressure, and is moving from the heart, and that venous blood is deoxygenated, under low pressure, and is moving towards the heart.
