Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)
Treatment of TIA
 Long-term stroke treatment None Treatment of transient ischemic attacks is aimed at preventing strokes; antiplatelet medications and statins are used. Carotid endarterectomy or arterial angioplasty plus stenting can be useful for some patients, particularly those who have no neurologic deficits but who are at high risk of stroke (> 70% ipsilateral carotid stenosis). Anticoagulation is indicated if cardiac sources of emboli are present. Modifying stroke risk factors, when possible, may prevent stroke.
