thrombotic stroke :
it is due progressive narrowing of the lumen due to atherosclerosis and rupture of the atheromatous plaque which expose the vascular wall and induce platelet aggregation >> occlusion of the vascular lumen.
the onset is acute ( within few hours ) .....
tx : aspirin , heparin only in stroke in evolution...
embolic stroke :
it is due emblism from the heart ... etc >>>>sudden occlusion of the vascular lumen.
onset is sudden ( within mins )
tx: heparin in case of AF after CT brain ( to exclude hemorrhagic infarction )
the clinical picture in both cases depends on the vessel occluded
