Necrosis is tissue death, and infarct means a blockage of blood flow to tissues, so it sounds like someone is describing tissue death that appears to be due to blockage of blood flow.

What is the difference between apoptosis and necrosis?

Apoptosis is cell death via shrinkage, whereas oncotic necrosis is cell death via swelling. The term necrosis was used for cell death before these two different processes (shrinkage and swelling) were discovered. For this reason, it is still sometimes used to refer to both apoptosis and oncotic necrosis. However, necrosis is also sometimes used to mean only cell death via swelling. To avoid confusion, it is best to use the terms apoptosis and oncotic necrosis (and not just 'necrosis').
