2. Thromboembolism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thromboembolism

   Acute blockage (embolism) of a blood vessel by a thrombus that has detached from its place of formation (on the wall of a vessel) and entered the circulating blood. As a result of this blockage, blood flow in the vessel stops—a condition called thromboembolism. [1] Thromboembolism is a condition in which a blood clot breaks off from its ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombophilia

   Thrombophilia (sometimes called hypercoagulability or a prothrombotic state) is an abnormality of blood coagulation that increases the risk of thrombosis (blood clots in blood vessels).

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemierre's_syndrome

   The inflammation surrounding the vein and compression of the vein may lead to blood clot formation. Pieces of the potentially infected clot can break off and travel through the right heart into the lungs as emboli, blocking branches of the pulmonary artery that carry deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs. [citation ...

7. Carotid artery dissection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carotid_artery_dissection

   In cases of complete occlusion, symptoms may not always be evident due to the presence of collateral circulation, which helps to adequately perfuse the brain. However, complications can arise when blood clots develop at the site of the tear and subsequently break off, forming emboli. These emboli can then travel through the arteries and reach ...

9. Ischemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischemia

   Brain ischemia is insufficient blood flow to the brain, and can be acute or chronic. Acute ischemic stroke is a neurological emergency typically caused by a blood clot blocking blood flow in a vessel in the brain. [15] Chronic ischemia of the brain may result in a form of dementia called vascular dementia. [16]
