Several therapies may be used including:
The sudden complete occlusion of a coronary artery causes death of the area of muscle served by that artery (a myocardial infarct). Partial occlusion or blockage occurs because of the gradual build-up of plaques rich in cholesterol. This may be further aggravated by the formation of a blood clot on these plaques, a coronary thrombosis.
Surgical intervention may be required to treat carotid artery blockage if other forms of treatment fail. A carotid artery occlusion, or carotid artery stenosis, refers to the blockage of one of the carotid or neck arteries by plaque buildup or fatty deposits.

Approximately 15 percent of all bypass grafts will totally occlude one year alter surgery, while approximately 3 percent of the grafts will become totally occluded each year thereafter. In the majority of clinical circumstances, the reason a graft has occluded (that is, thrombus formation, fibrointimal proliferation, or atherosclerosis) is not known. In fact, in most clinical situations, total occlusion of a graft goes unrecognized because occlusion often does not cause the patient any symptoms and because routine post-CABG angiograms are rarely done today. Even when a post-CABG patient does require another CABG procedure because of occlusion of the initial bypass grafts, the reason the grafts occluded is not known because the initial grafts are usually left intact (that is, not excised or submitted for pathological examination) during the second CABG operation.
Failure of live graft to maintain patency may be due to graft selection, coagulation abnormalities, complications of anastomosis, or thrombosis in the early stages . Late graft closure is thought to be significantly related to intimal hyperplasia and it is also related to progression of atherosclerosis.
