thrombotic
Involving vascular blockage
Thrombotic describes conditions involving or caused by a thrombus—a blood clot that forms inside a blood vessel.
Thrombotic stroke occurs when a clot blocks blood flow to the brain.
Deep vein thrombosis and thrombotic events are common medical contexts.
The word appears almost exclusively in clinical settings.
