Systemic emboli are intravascular particles, such as thrombi or air bubbles, that travel through the bloodstream and occlude distant blood vessels, leading to tissue ischemia. Understanding systemic emboli is crucial in clinical practice as they can result in serious complications, including stroke or organ infarction, depending on the site of occlusion. A common source of systemic emboli is left ventricular thrombus formation in patients with atrial fibrillation.
