* You can form a clot in an artery that is already very close, which is called a thrombus. If you block the artery completely, is called a thrombotic stroke.
* A clot can break off from somewhere in the body and travel to the brain to block a smaller artery. This is called an embolism, causing an embolic stroke. (more…)
