A 57 year-old woman experienced a CVA (cerebrovascular accident or stroke). Her symptoms which include motor deficiencies in her right arm and leg, were corrected by a technique that involved catherization and removal of an embolus from the left middle cerebral artery. The medical team went right into unblocking the artery without any x-rays and MRIs. This has to be because it's a common area for blockage, but does anyone know why? The middle cerebral artery (MCA) is by far the largest of the cerebral arteries and is the vessel most commonly affected by cerebrovascular accident (CVA). The stoke almost always happens on the shoulder of each branch of the artery where there is more turbulence. for more info on MCA stroke: http://www.emedicine.com/pmr/topic77...
