Clots destroyed mobile (6)
I believe the answer is:
emboli
'clots' is the definition.
(embolus is a kind of clot)
'destroyed mobile' is the wordplay.
'destroyed' indicates an anagram.
'mobile' anagrammed gives 'EMBOLI'.
(Another definition for emboli that I've seen is " Blood clots or air bubbles which cause arterial blockages".)
I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
