Thrombotic stroke As the blood flows through the arteries, it may leave behind cholesterol-laden plaques that stick to the inner wall of the artery. Over time, these plaques can increase in size and narrow or block the artery and stop blood getting through. A transient ischemic  attack (TIA) is sometimes k...
