- 2. TheCauses of Ischemic Strokes Licensed by the State of California’s Department of Public Health, Food and Drug Branch, Stemedica provides ischemic-tolerant allogeneic stem cells for use in pre-clinical and clinical studies. Stemedica is also involved in pre-clinical and clinical trials, such as the FDA-approved Phase I/II clinical trial for ischemic stroke.
- 3. TheCauses of Ischemic Strokes The majority of strokes that occur in the United States are classified as ischemic strokes. In fact, ischemic strokes account for nearly 90 percent of all strokes. An obstruction in one of the blood vessels that serve the brain causes an ischemic stroke. Such an obstruction could take the form of a cerebral thrombosis or a cerebral embolism.
- 4. TheCauses of Ischemic Strokes A cerebral thrombosis occurs when a blood clot forms in one of the brain’s blood vessels, in a section that has been clogged by atherosclerosis. By contrast, a cerebral embolism is a clot that forms elsewhere within the circulatory system before ultimately causing an obstruction in one of the brain’s blood vessels.The heart and the arteries in the chest and neck are common locations for the formation of embolisms.
