   Alternatively, arterial occlusion occurs as a consequence of embolism of blood clots originating from the heart ("cardiogenic" emboli). The most common cause is atrial fibrillation, which causes a blood stasis within the atria with easy thrombus formation, but blood clots can develop inside the heart for other reasons too as infective endocarditis.

4. Arterial embolism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arterial_embolism

   An arterial embolism is caused by one or more emboli getting stuck in an artery and blocking blood flow, causing ischemia, possibly resulting in infarction with tissue death . [2] Individuals with arterial thrombosis or embolism often develop collateral circulation to compensate for the loss of arterial flow.

7. Thromboembolism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thromboembolism

   ATE is usually caused by atherosclerosis, which leads to plaque rupture and thrombus formation, or by cardioembolism, which results from the embolization of a cardiac thrombus, such as in atrial fibrillation, valvular disease, or myocardial dysfunction. The management of ATE depends on the location and severity of the ischemia and the ...
