A member asked:
Where does ischemia occur with regards to thrombosis? upstream and downstream of the clot, or both?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Great question: The immediate effect of ischemia is seen downstream of the vessel, but the process is a complex one. In fact, once the clot develops it promotes extension of the clot upstream and so the most proper answer to your question can in fact be "both".
