This is because the original platelets that attach to a point will attract other platelets. The new platelets are coming from upstream in the blood and will attach to the front of the forming thrombus.
A thrombus is another name for a clot. When it blocks an artery, the tissue beyond the clot will die. If it is a large artery, the amount of damage can be very harmful, If this happens in a artery that is on the surface of the heart, the muscle will die. When that happens the muscle can tear and the heart can rupture.

Coronary Thrombosis
No, it is a blood clot attached to the interior wall of an artery or vein
99% of the time it's not. The only danger is IF the clot was close to the beginning of the artery and clot moved into the internal carotid, it COULD cause a stroke. The vast majority of the time, we ignore narrowings in the external carotid.
1) damage to endothelial cells of artery 2) inflammatory response 3) migration of white blood cells into area 4) build up of cholesterol 5) formation of atheroma 6) loss of elasticity of artery and narrowing of lumen 7) this process is self-perpetuating
Because it would block the blood flow and stop the heart.
A stroke is when a clot causes a thrombus (blockage of flow of blood) in the veins of the brain. The brain has multiple arteries that supply it with oxygen.
