A large vessel stroke is a stroke that happens due to the interruption of blood flow in one of the main large arteries in the brain. Because a large vessel stroke happens when a large artery is blocked, all of its smaller branches become blocked too. So a large vessel stroke damages a considerable portion of the brain typically referred to as the 'vascular territory' of that large blood vessel. 4, record 1, English, - large%20vessel%20occlusion%20stroke
