Ischemic strokes occur when blood clots or other particles block or narrow down the arteries leading to the brain.

Another possible kind of stroke is known as the transient ischemic attack (TIS), which essentially means the person has a mini stroke. It occurs when the blood supply to the brain gets blocked for a short period of time and usually causes no permanent damage.
