Abstract：Objective To study the relationship between transient ischemic attack (TIA) and lesion of blood-supply cerebral artery through examination of digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Methods The therapeutic data was studied and analyzed retrospectively in 30 patients with TIA, and incidence and nature of atherosclerotic plaques, severity of vascular stenosis and other lesions were observed in common carotid artery (CCA), internal carotid system and intracranial or extracranial vertebrobasilar artery. Results In 30 cases of TIA, 20 (66.7%) had intracranial or extracranial artery stenosis and among them, 7 (21.0%) had intracarotid stenosis, 4 (13.3%) had middle cerebral artery stenosis, 2 (6.7%) had anterior cerebral artery stenosis, 2 (6.67%) had stenosis of both intracarotid and vertebral arteries, 5 (16.7%) had vertebral artery stenosis, 1 (3.3%) had moyamoya disease, 2 (6.7%) had vasospasm, and 7 (23.3%) had negative angiography outcomes. Stenting for treating vertebral artery stenosis or intracarotid stenosis had good curative effects in more than 70%patients. Conclusion DSA can accurately review TIA and lesion of blood-supply cerebral artery, which is important to clear the cause of TIA in clinic and has guiding significance to the treatment.
