Relative Survival After Transient Ischaemic Attack

Transient ischaemic attack after spinal anaesthesia.

A case of transient ischaemic attack lasting 6 h occurred after spinal anaesthesia with bupivacaine. The level of sensory block was satisfactory and there was no significant hypotension. We discuss the possible cause of this previously undescribed complication.

Relative survival after transient ischaemic attack: results from the Program of Research Informing Stroke Management (PRISM) study.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is a lack of modern-day data quantifying the effect of transient ischemic attack (TIA) on survival, and recent data do not take into account expected survival. METHODS Data for 22 157 adults hospitalized with a TIA from July 1, 2000, to June 30, 2007, in New South Wales, Australia, were linked with registered deaths to June 30, 2009. We estimated survival relative...

Early Recurrence of Cerebrovascular Events After Transient Ischaemic Attack

Early Recurrence of Cerebrovascular Events After Transient Ischaemic Attack To the Editor: We read with great interest the recent article by Lisabeth et al1 regarding the stroke risk after a transient ischemic attack (TIA). Their results are similar to those reported in the midand late-1990s2,3 and considerably lower than more recent studies reported in the UK4,5 and Canada.6 We run rapid acces...
