Brief Answer:
Blood clots or lipid plaques?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I will like to review the entire reports that mentioned of blood clots. Have you had any symptoms of stroke?

Blood clots cannot be eliminated by blood thinners but they can be washed away by constant blood flow through the clot that progressively removes it in bits. I will like to see the entire report before concluding on this.

Kindly upload the reports for review, please.
