Clot of carotids will not travel and cause stroke.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic
I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
I reviewed your history and the previous question you had asked to Health care Magic.
It seems from the history that your husband is having vascular occlusion because of blocked carotid artery. The blockage of carotid artery is responsible for his eye condition and this can occur because of atherosclerosis.
This is unlikely to cause stroke as he is already on blood thinners, hence no need to be worried.
The atherosclerosis of the carotids will not travel hence no need to be worried.
Hope I have answered your question and the information is helpful to you.
Thank you
With regards
