I would think it can. Pulmonary is your lungs & embolism is a sudden blockage of a blood vessel by an embolus & embolism is a foreign object, such as a blood clot, quantity of air or gas, or a bit of tissue or tumor that is circulating in the blood. So I would think with the pressure of any of this will eventually cause some kind of damage. But, I am NOT a Dr. So please always go with what the Dr.'s say. They would know best......
