Part of the cerebral circulation is occluded either by in situ thrombosis, or embolism from the heart or a more proximal artery (for example, the ipsilateral internal carotid artery). Angiographic studies of the cerebral circulation in acute stroke demonstrate occluding thrombus in up to 80% of patients. The aim of thr...
