Bubble-Transcranial Doppler Detects PFOs in Elderly With Cryptogenic TIA
Contrast-enhanced transcranial Doppler sonography is a useful noninvasive bedside technique for detecting PFOs among elderly patients with TIA or nondisabling stroke.

It is possible that many patients who were not prescribed antihypertensive medications at discharge had contraindications to these agents, limiting the findings.
There are a limited number of prediction models that identify patients at risk of major bleeding after stroke or TIA.
The risk of a second stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) remains considerable for at least 5 years after the first event.
