AstraZeneca and past Ischemic Stroke patients

Hi, first-timer here. I would like to ask for second opinions on behalf of my mother.

Does the risks of VITT from the AstraZeneca vaccine increase in people who had prior Ischemic Strokes? In this case, it was in the brain and treated with anti-clotting vaccination and medicine (don't know the names).

On a side note, if someone had the Sinopharm vaccine as the first dose, and could only get the AstraZeneca vaccine as the second, should the interval be 4 or 12 weeks?

Thank you!
