What is a TIA….
• “Brief episode of neurologic dysfunction caused by focal brain or retinal ischemia, with clinical symptoms typically lasting less than one-hour
• and without evidence of acute infarction”.

TIA : Symptom of stroke or ministroke ?

Four Different Perspectives to define « TIAs »
• In the community: Recognition of transient symptoms to detect patients at risk for imminent
stroke:
– Transient Neurologic Symptoms or
– Acute CerebroVascular Syndrome
• Epidemiology study: differentiiation between transient and permanent symptoms without
necessary brain imaging available (duration might be useful)
• Therapeutic trials: differentiation between TIA without brain lesion from those with brain lesion
(qualifying for brain infarction)
• In the setting of a stroke unit: differentiation between transient symptoms from persisting
symptoms eligible for tPA, and later between transient symptoms with brain lesion (infartion)
and those without (e.g, different prognosis, risk stratification perspective)

Current view
• Use the term– “Cerebrovascular syndrome” to qualify any
suspiscion of ischemic stroke (whether transient or permanent, ischemic or hemorrhagic)
• Keep the term– “TIA” for symptoms without brain lesion on
neuro-imaging

Yesterday, I was watching TV, and suddendly theRemote control fell down from my right hand. I couldnot move my fingers during 3 minutes. And then, suddendlyI have totally recovered. Is it some fatigue, Doctor?
Do you know?This is a TIAThis patient is at risk for a massive stroke within thenext hours?What to do?Don’t down grade the symptomsTell the patient he is at risk for imminent stroke butthat we can avoid itTell him we have to do immediate diagnostic testingand treatment

SOS-TIA: Immediate Preventive Strategy for Mr B.
• Antiplatelet agent, pre-hospital• Blood pressure lowering• Statin therapy (after lipid profile determination in
fasting condition)• Smoking cessation• Anti diabetic treatment• Oral anticoagulant (e.g., Atrial fibrillation)• Carotid endarterectomy (stenosis ≥70%)
![Page 37: Early recognition and treatment of Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814e04550346895dbb7393/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
CONCLUSIONS• TIA is an emergency: work-up has to be done < 24 hours, in a dedicated organized structure (TIA clinic)
• With fast evaluation = same day discharged for up to 75% of pts (Pt satisfaction/Cost-effectiveness)
• Risk becomes extremely low compared to that expected with a RRR= 80% at 3 months
• TIA clinic should be developed in all comprehensive stroke centres for same day evaluation
• It is no longer possible to wait more than 12 hours to do the evaluation of a TIA
![Page 38: Early recognition and treatment of Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA)](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56814e04550346895dbb7393/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
What should be the early management of TIA patients
• Admission to a dedicated structure (no matter the setting)
• Immediate evaluation and treatment• A priori defined immediate process of care
– Brain imaging– Arterial and cardiac evaluation– Blood testing– Full clinical evaluation
• Decision on orientation by a senior stroke specialist: discharged home or admission to SU
