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. Approximately 80 percent of strokes, or brain attacks, are ischemic. They can develop in major blood vessels on the surface of the brain (called large-vessel infarcts) or in small blood vessels deep in the brain (called small-vessel infarcts). Specific types of ischemic stroke include embolic infarct, thrombotic infarct, and lacunar infarct.
