Clinical, Laboratory, and Imaging Characteristics of Transient Ischemic Attack Caused by Large Artery Lesions: A Comparison between Carotid and Intracranial Arteries

Conclusions: Among our patients with TIA caused by large artery disease, patients with intracranial artery occlusive lesions were more frequent and were at higher risk of early ischemic stroke than those with extracranial carotid artery occlusive lesions. These data highlight the importance of prompt assessment of intracranial artery lesions in patients with TIA.Cerebrovasc Dis Extra 2015;5:115-123
