Stroke During Lobectomy: An Overview
A stroke can be caused by a blocked artery in your brain. The blockage, which may be a blood clot, a piece of a fatty deposit called "
plaque," or something else, stops blood and oxygen from getting to part of your brain. This causes a part of the brain tissue to die.
A stroke can change your body in many different ways. For example,
stroke symptoms might include problems with moving or speaking. And sometimes, a stroke can be fatal.
Stroke treatment will depend on where it happened and how serious it was.
Some people are more likely to have a stroke than others, so please talk to your doctor if you have ever had
symptoms of a stroke, or have been told that you had a stroke in the past. If there is a problem or increased risk for a stroke, your healthcare provider can talk with you about what is best for your situation.
