Inclusion Criteria: Age 18 and older. Clinical diagnosis of TIA within 24 hours of consent. Exclusion Criteria: Crescendo TIAs, defined as multiple within 24 hours of presentation. Posterior circulation TIAs diagnosed clinically by a member of the Stroke Team. High grade carotid stenosis.

Patients will only be enrolled if the only consideration for admission is the TIA, and they otherwise meet appropriate standard of care criteria for discharge to home.
