Artery occlusion refers to the blockage or obstruction of an artery, which is like a narrow tube that carries blood throughout our body. When an artery gets blocked, it hampers the flow of blood and oxygen to the organs and tissues it supplies. This blockage can happen due to a blood clot, plaque buildup, or a combination of factors.
Artery occlusion is a serious condition that can lead to various health problems depending on the affected artery, such as heart attack or stroke.
