Embolic Stroke and Ortho Evra: How are they related?

Ortho Evra has been linked to Embolic strokes. In embolic stroke, an embolus, or a travelling particle in a blood vessel, flows with the bloodstream into progressively smaller arteries until it becomes lodged, inhibiting passage of blood. An embolus is most frequently a blood clot, but it can also be plaque that has broken off from a blood vessel or other things including fat, air, and even cancerous cells (Perry and Miller, 1961).

An embolism may also form when the heart pumps ineffectively, allowing the blood to pool and coagulate, as in certain heart arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation.
