Rapid advance in medical technology has resulted in the availability of numerous tests and treatment strategies in the management of acute stroke. The increasingly evidence-based context of clinical medicine necessitates that clinicians use only appropriate tools to facilitate the diagnostic process and patient management. In this review, we seek to explore the use of computed tomography angiography (CTA) in the diagnosis and management of patients presenting with acute stroke (ischemic and hemorrhagic) or transient ischemic attack (TIA). We present evidence in favor of the use of CTA, highlight the disadvantages of this imaging modality, and present a heuristic model based on our experience at utilizing CTA for decision making in acute stroke and TIAs.
