Stroke can be thrombotic or embolic. Thrombotic stroke occurs when a blood clot is formed in the arteries that supply blood to the brain. Embolic stroke forms away from brain mainly due to the blood clot or deposition of debris in the heart and narrows the brain arteries. The increase in geriatric population and diseases associated with the old age is the major factor driving the market growth.
