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.
The aorta is the largest blood vessel of the body. It travels from the heart, through the chest and abdomen before branching to give the blood vessels supplying the legs. In the chest it is known as the thoracic aorta and in the abdomen, the abdominal aorta. If there is plaque build up within the aorta, it may cause swelling of the blood vessel, which is known as an aneurysm. They are more common later on in life and affect men more than women.
