Stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA, or "mini-stroke") can result from blockage of the arteries to the brain.
Peripheral arterial disease occurs when arteries to the legs become blocked. This can lead to amputation.
Definition Transient ischemic attacks or TIAs are brief stroke-like episodes, sometimes called mini-strokes or transient stroke , that occur when a blood clot temporarily blocks an artery and prevents blood from flowing normally in the brain.
What is a Transient Ischemic Attack or TIA?
A TIA, also known as a mini-stroke, has symptoms that are identical to those of a stroke, but they last typically only a few minutes or hours.
Warnings known as transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) may happen before the actual stroke. TIAs occur when the blood supply to the brain is reduced for a short time without causing permanent damage.
A person may have a transient ischemic attack (TIA), a neurological event with the symptoms of a stroke, but the symptoms go away within a short period of time.

A mini stroke, sometimes called a transient ischemic attack, is an event that starts out like a stroke but then suddenly fixes itself and no post-stroke signs are noted.
A blockage in the carotid arteries (the arteries supplying the brain) can lead to a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke.
A "mini-stroke", also called a transient ischemic attack or (TIA), happens when, for a short time, less blood than normal gets to the brain. You may have some signs of stroke or you may not notice any signs.
Carotid artery stenosis can also cause transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), also called "mini strokes." With a TIA, small pieces of the fatty materials in the arteries break away and lodge in the small blood vessels leading to the vein.
In some cases a diagnosis of stroke may be overlooked or delayed because symptoms of stroke or of a transient ischemic attack may be mild or vague. Symptoms may be attributed to such conditions as aging or migraine headache.
