This was thought to be cause of mine, plaque breaks loose, blood cells rush in, instant blockage.
The doctors will never know for me since I didn't have any appreciable plaque built up. All they could do was guess that maybe I had a small plaque break off and since I was on steroids and have the blood clot disorder that caused an abnormal reaction to it. I had no plaque buildup anywhere in any arteries in fact. Not a single stent placed even though he wanted to put one in just to be safe, they didn't have one large enough to fit the lumen of my vessel.
I wonder if maybe the pressure damaged the wall of the artery in a small way and that sent off a cascade.
