A blocked artery can lead to death but it rather depends on where the blockage is and if it is only partial or complete. For example if in the brain it can cause a stroke but that doesn't necessarily mean death for the individual. If the blockage is in the heart it will result in a heart attack however, the individual may not die.
Partially blocked artery may cause improper function of the tissues. Partial blockages have a high chance of resulting in complete blockage. When the artery is completely blocked it generally means death for any tissue located after the blockage.
For Example:
If there is an infarction in the thigh it will cause necrosis in that area.
Blocked arteries are called coronary arteries. Carotid artery disease is another named for blocked arteries. This should be determined by a doctor.

Why are coronary arteries so easily blocked by floating embolisms
They are called left internal mammary arteries (LIMAs).

infarct
A heart attack typically involves the heart muscle itself, specifically the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart. When these arteries become blocked, it can lead to a heart attack (myocardial infarction). The symptoms of a heart attack can also manifest in other parts of the body such as the arms, neck, jaw, and back.

the two pulmonary arteries lead to hogwarts and narnia.
Yes, a blocked nose can frequently lead to a headache.
