With my limited knowledge (both parents had TIA's and I work in the medical field), there are numerous things that can cause TIA's. When my father had his first one, they said it was a combination of a lack of Vitamin B-12 and the fact that his carotid artery has a 70% plaque build up. When my mother had hers a few months ago, they don't really know. The plaque build up that she has is not enough to cause the stroke (per her cardiologist) but the ran all kinds of tests and have decided that even though she has minimal plaque build up that are going to go ahead and do what my parents loving call the "roter-rooter" surgery. If you have a medical dictionary (or you can go to webMD, or just Google TIA's) you can look up the technical description.
