Specifically, tactical equipment involves any type of gear that could be used in the performance of combative operations. Now, this description seems like a catch all, umbrella term and, to a great extent, it is. This is because the sheer volume of items that comprise tactical equipment is quite vast and varied.
Blood clots in the aorta is another complication. When an aneurysm develops, it can damage the wall of the aorta. The damage leads to clot formation. A blood clot can narrow the aorta and slow down blood flow to the rest of the body. Pieces of the blood clot can break off and get stuck in the bloodstream.
Aortic Aneurysm. The aorta is the largest artery in the body. It rises from the heart's left ventricle (the major chamber that pumps blood out of the heart) and is filled with oxygen-rich blood that travels throughout the body. The aorta itself goes from the heart, through the diaphragm, and into the abdomen. Many smaller vessels branch off from it.
