What Exactly A Stroke Is?
A brain attack or a stroke occurs when the brain doesn’t get 
proper blood. Due to decreased blood flow, brain cells die. 
Usually, stroke is divided into two broad categories: blockage 
and bleeding. Well, a stroke because of blockage is known as 
ischemic stroke. The blockage is the most frequent cause of a 
brain stroke. Do you know, 80 percent of strokes are because of 
blockage. A stroke because of bleeding is known as a 
hemorrhagic stroke.
There can be many reasons behind a brain stroke. In fact, 
cardiovascular procedures can also lead to brain stroke. To 
prevent the brain, doctors use 3
embolic cerebral protection devices during cardiac procedures.
