There are three main types of stroke: transient ischemic attack, ischemic, and hemorrhagic. Itâs estimated that 87 percent of strokes are ischemic. Doctors also call a transient ischemic attack (TIA) a warning or ministroke. A clot that temporarily blocks blood flow to your brain causes a TIA.
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.
