Pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lung)

Chris Bosh unfortunately suffered his second episode of blood clots which may have traveled to his lungs.  This condition is outlined nicely in this Bleacher Report piece.   Having a blood clot in the lungs is a life threatening condition and the treatment (blood thinners) comes with its own risks - including severe internal bleeding in the event of a traumatic event.  As basketball is considered a moderate contact sport - you can imagine why sources are saying Chris Bosh may have played his last game.  Curious to see what a blood clot in the lungs look like? See CT scan picture below.

The red arrow points to dark material (or thrombus) within the pulmonary artery (white tubular structure).  The opposite is the normal pulmonary artery on the other side without a blood clot.
