Hi,
Without an exam, I can only give general information. With small strokes, there is clogging of small arteries inside the brain. You can't operate on them. On prevention of clot, small amounts of aspirin is pretty helpful. Also cholesterol medications and slow gradual correction of hypertension if there is any.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
