A stroke occurs when the blood supply to your brain is interrupted or reduced. This deprives your brain of oxygen and nutrients, which can cause your brain cells to die. A stroke may be caused by a blocked artery (ischemic stroke) or the leaking or bursting of a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke).
What Is an Embolic Stroke? Ischemic strokes are caused by blood clots. There are two types of ischemic strokes: embolic and thrombotic. An embolic stroke occurs when a blood clot that forms elsewhere in the body (embolus) breaks loose and travels to the brain via the bloodstream. Eventually, the clot lodges in a blood vessel and blocks the flow of blood, causing a stroke.
