98 Bowery: 1969-89. View From The Top Floor. Telling stories with pictures and a few carefully chosen words is what I enjoy doing best. Over the years I have been lucky to create many visual narratives during a varied career as an artist, journalist, curator, art historian and publisher.
Ischemic stroke is a type of stroke where blood vessels to the brain are blocked by plaques that either formed in those vessels or moved from a different body part and traveled to the brain vessels to block them, cutting off the blood supply.
Ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel that supplies blood to the brain is blocked by a blood clot. This may happen in two ways: A clot may form in an artery that is already very narrow. This is called a thrombotic stroke. A clot may break off from another place in the blood vessels of the brain, or from some other part of the body, and travel up to the brain. This is called cerebral embolism, or an embolic stroke. Ischemic strokes may also be caused by a sticky substance called plaque that can clog arteries.
