A member asked:

Can cutting off circulation to any facial arteries cause clotting that can travel to the brain and cause stroke or aneurysm formation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: the blood supply to the face and brain have separated by this time. Unlikely that a problem with a facial artery will lead to a problem in the brain unless a strange communication exist.
