Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Age 18 or over 2. Acute ischemic stroke attributed to large artery occlusion, which is confirmed by CTA, MRA or DSA 3. CT or MRI scan ruling out intracranial hemorrhage 4. With onset time no more than 6 hours, or meeting the inclusion criteria of DEFUSE-III or DAWN trial 5. No disability before the onset of the disease (mRS score = 1 point) 6. Preoperative NIHSS score = 3 points 7. After successful thrombectomy (mTICI=2b), residual intracranial artery stenosis (=50%, including internal carotid artery [C5-C7], anterior [A1] or middle [M1] cerebral artery, vertebral artery [V3-V4] or basilar artery) confirmed by by angiography 8. Informed consent signed

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Any known non-atherosclerotic intracranial arterial stenosis, including but not limited to moyamoya disease, vasculitis, viral vasculopathy, neurosyphilis, intracranial infection, radiation vasculopathy, fibromuscular dysplasia, sickle cell disease, neurofibromatosis, reversible vasoconstriction syndrome, postpartum vascular disease, vasospasm; if combined with intracranial arterial dissection, the enrollment of this case will be determined by interventional doctors 2. Women who plan to become pregnant, are pregnant or breastfeeding 3. Patients who cannot receive endovascular treatment, such as allergies to contrast media, allergies to nickel-titanium or other stent materials, with unstable vital signs, severe heart, liver and kidney insufficiency (GFR 185mmHg, or diastolic blood pressure > 110mmHg) 6. Active bleeding in non-compressible regions or known obvious bleeding tendency (such as hereditary or acquired bleeding factors, or lack of coagulation factors) 7. Blood glucose 22.2mmol/L 8. Life expectancy less than 90 days 9. Intracranial hemorrhage within 90 days before enrollment, including cerebral parenchymal hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage (clinical diagnosis, even if no hemorrhage seen in the initial head CT or MRI), subdural hemorrhage or epidural hemorrhage 10. Suspected aortic dissection 11. Recent strong stress factors, such as severe burns, major surgery, acute myocardial infarction, septic shock 12. Previous neurological or psychiatric diseases which would affect neurological function scores or prognosis scores 13. Vascular torsion, calcification, previous stents, or stenosis that will prevent the passage or release of thrombectomy or stent devices 14. Huge mass or intracranial tumors (small meningiomas can be included), huge intracranial aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations 15. Ipsilateral extracranial artery stenosis (=70%) that cannot be treated simultaneously 16. Using illegal drugs or alcohol dependence (drinking more than 4 cups per day)
