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 is the death of or injury to brain cells caused when a blood clot or other particle (such as a fatty plaque) blocks an artery deep within the brain (cerebral artery) or leading to it, such as the carotid (neck) artery. Cerebral thrombosis and cerebral embolism are types of ischemic strokes.
