Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)

Expertise When Every Second Counts

A transient ischemic attack (TIA) happens when blood flow to part of the brain is blocked or reduced, often by a blood clot. Some people call a TIA a mini-stroke, because the symptoms are those of a stroke but don't last long.

St. Luke’s TIA Center operates around the clock within the emergency departments at St. Luke’s Boise and Meridian Medical Centers. Our specially trained team is dedicated to rapid evaluation and treatment to prevent stroke and further damage in anyone experiencing TIA. We’ll also perform an evaluation to help identify and treat the underlying causes of the potential stroke.
