There are two types of cerebral vascular accidents (i.e., strokes). The most common is an ischemic stroke. What is the other type?

The second type of cerebral vascular accident is a hemorrhagic stroke, also known as a bleed. Thrombotic and embolic strokes are types of ischemic strokes where the blood flow is stopped by a clot. A transient ischemic attack is most often referred as a mini stroke, a prelude to a full on CVA.
