abstract：:Many patients suffer a stroke early after a transient ischemic attack, but the reason why is often unclear. We studied 12 patients with less than 75% stenosis of the internal carotid artery and a single hemispheric transient ischemic attack lasting less than 1 hour who had a normal neurologic examination 3-13 hours la...
