Plural of embolectomy; surgical procedures to remove blood clots or emboli from blood vessels.
From Greek 'embolē' (clot/insertion) plus '-ektomē' (removal), creating a medical term for clot extraction. The '-ies' ending pluralizes the noun.
An embolectomy is a race against time—surgeons have to carefully remove blood clots before they cause a stroke or heart attack, and it's one of the moments where modern medicine literally saves lives in minutes.
