<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Plaques that have ruptured are called complicated lesions. The [[extracellular matrix]] of the lesion breaks, usually at the shoulder of the fibrous cap that separates the lesion from the arterial lumen, where the exposed thrombogenic components of the plaque, mainly [[collagen]], will trigger [[thrombus]] formation. The thrombus then travels downstream to other blood vessels, where the blood clot may partially or completely block blood flow. If the blood flow is completely blocked, cell deaths occur due to the lack of [[oxygen]] supply to nearby cells, resulting in [[necrosis]]. The narrowing or obstruction of blood flow can occur in any artery within the body. Obstruction of arteries supplying the heart muscle results in a [[myocardial infarction|heart attack]], while the obstruction of arteries supplying the brain results in an ischaemic [[stroke]].</div>FuzzyBot
