What is the distinction between fat embolsim and pulmonary embolism?
My understanding is that fat embolism occurs when bone marrow fat enters the bloodstream due to internal lengthening devices. Some fat is inevitable, but the crucial point is to prevent excessive amounts that could lead to a stroke if the fat reaches the heart.
Regarding pulmonary embolism, it results from a blood clot in the lungs. However, is it accurate to suggest that this condition is also related to bone marrow fat when internal methods are utilized?
In essence, is the sole contrast between fat embolism and pulmonary embolism the location of the blood clot, whether it occurs in the heart or the lungs?
