TIA by the numbers. TIAs are usually caused by one of three things: 1  Low blood flow at a narrow part of a major artery carrying blood to the brain, such as the carotid artery.  A blood clot in another part of the body (such as the heart) breaks off, travels to the brain, and blocks a blood vessel in the brain.
What Causes a Stroke. A common cause of stroke is atherosclerosis -- hardening of the arteries. Plaque made of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances builds up in the arteries, leaving less space for blood to flow. A blood clot may lodge in this narrow space and cause an ischemic stroke. Atherosclerosis also makes it easier for a clot to form.
