Among the many diseases in the neuro-surgery, the short-term ischaemic haemorrhage (TIA) has caused widespread concern with its suddenness and transientity. Although its name may sound strange, in practice TIA is a common occurrence and a high incidence of cerebrovascular disease, often referred to as a “pint”. It is an important time not only for early warning signals of brain health but also for the prevention of serious cerebrovascular disease. Today, as a senior medical practitioner, I will give you an in-depth insight into the definition of TIA, the common causes of the disease, clinical performance, in particular the symptoms of TIA associated with the narrowness of the carotial artery, and the possibilities of treatment, especially surgery.
I. Definition of TIA
Short-lived ischaemic haemorrhages, in short, are short-lived neurofunctional disorders due to partial blood deficiency in the brain. It is like a “short stop” for the brain, and symptoms usually disappear within minutes to hours without permanent damage. But don’t underestimate this “power outage”, which may be an alarm for brain vascular problems and, if it is not followed and treated in a timely manner, it is likely to develop into serious cerebrovascular diseases, such as brain infarction.
II. Common causes of TIA
The occurrence of TIA is associated with a number of factors, including, inter alia, sclerosis of the artery, high blood pressure, diabetes, high blood resin, etc. Among them, sclerosis of the artery is the leading cause of TIA. When the inside of the artery accumulates fat and calcium and forms the spots, they block the veins and reduce the flow of blood. When these spots suddenly break or fall, they form a tiny clot, and as the blood flows into the brain, they temporarily block the brain vessels and trigger the TIA.
The narrow artery is one of the major causes of TIA. The carotid artery is one of the main blood vessels that gives blood to the brain, and when the carotid artery narrows because of, for example, the hardening of the artery sample, the blood supply of the brain is affected, which triggers the TIA.
iii. The clinical performance of TIA. The clinical performance of TIA is varied and depends primarily on the region where the cerebrovascular is affected.
Common symptoms include:
• Incapacity or numbness: the limbs on one side suddenly become impotent or numb to normal activity.
• Visual impairment: sudden sight blurs or blindness, which may last only a few minutes or hours.
• Lack of clarity: Words become vague or do not understand others’ words.
• Dizziness and balance disorder: feeling dizzy and unable to maintain balance.
• Other neurological symptoms, such as facial paralysis, difficulty of swallowing, loss of memory, etc.
TIA, associated with the narrowness of the carotid artery, is usually associated with the effects on the cerebral vessels in the blood-producing areas of the carotid artery. Because the carotid artery provides blood mainly to the first half of the brain, the symptoms of this type of TIA tend to be concentrated on one side of the body, numbness and visual impairment.
IV. TIA treatment
TIA treatment consists mainly of medication, lifestyle adjustment and surgical treatment.
• Drug treatment: the main use of anti-blood tablets and anticondensation drugs to prevent sembling and to control risk factors such as hypertension and high blood resin.
Lifestyle Adjustment: Healthy lifestyles such as cessation of alcohol and alcohol, balanced diet and adequate exercise are essential to prevent the recurrence of TIA.
• Surgical treatment: For patients with severe carotid arteries, surgical treatment may be a necessary option.
The procedure consists of an endectomy of the cervical artery and an angioplasty of the cervical artery, as well as a brooding. Cervical endectomy is the procedure for the sclerosis of the porridge in the artery and for the restoration of the vascular flow. On the other hand, the artery of carotid carotid and staft implantation is the use of the scyte to expand a narrow carotid artery by means of intervention and, if necessary, to place the stairwell in order to keep the veins smooth. The surgical treatment of TIA, especially those related to the narrow artery, needs to be guided by a professional physician. Doctors decide whether or not to perform the operation, taking into account, inter alia, the age of the patient, the severity of the condition and the risk of surgery. Although there are certain risks to the operation, surgical treatment can significantly reduce the risk of strokes and improve the quality of life for patients with severe carotid arteries and frequent TIA outbreaks.
Concluding remarks
TIA, although short-lived, must not be taken lightly. It is an alert for cerebral vascular health, a reminder of timely attention and treatment. By understanding the definition of TIA, common causes, clinical behaviour and treatment, we can better prevent and treat the disease. For TIA patients with narrow arteries, timely surgical treatment may be key to avoiding severe cerebrovascular disease. Remember, protecting cerebrovascular health is protecting the quality of our lives.
