Embolic stroke

This type of stroke may occur when a blood clot or a piece of atherosclerotic plaque 

(cholesterol and calcium deposits on the wall of the inside of the heart or artery) breaks 

loose, travels through the bloodstream, and lodges in an artery in the brain. When blood flow 

stops, brain cells do not receive the oxygen and glucose they require to function and a stroke 

occurs. This type of stroke is referred to as an embolic stroke. For example, a blood clot 

might originally form in the heart chamber as a result of an irregular heart rhythm, like atrial 

fibrillation. Usually, these clots remain attached to the inner lining of the heart, but 

occasionally they can break off, travel through the bloodstream (embolize), form a plug in a 

brain artery, and cause a stroke. An embolism can also originate in a large artery (for 

example, the carotid artery, a major artery in the neck that supplies blood to the brain) and 

then travel downstream to clog a small artery within the brain.
