Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Age >=18 years. 2. Diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) according to the 2018 Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke. 3. Severe stenosis or occlusion of anterior circulation large vessels confirmed by DSA/MRA/CTA. 4. Eligible for endovascular therapy (EVT) per the 2022 Chinese Guidelines for Endovascular Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke, with successful recanalization after emergency EVT. 5. Fasting LDL-C >1.8 mmol/L or non-HDL cholesterol >2.6 mmol/L. 6. Signed informed consent by the patient or legal guardian.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Non-atherosclerotic causes of stenosis/occlusion (e.g., cardioembolism, vasculitis, vascular malformation, moyamoya disease, or iatrogenic/surgical causes). 2. History of intracranial hemorrhage or systemic bleeding within 3 months. 3. Immediate post-procedural hemorrhagic transformation (PH1/PH2 per ECASS classification). 4. Severe hepatic impairment, defined as: ALT >3× upper limit of normal (ULN), INR >1.2, Hepatic encephalopathy, or Prior drug-induced liver injury. 5. Use of PCSK9 inhibitors within 6 months prior to enrollment. 6. Pre-stroke mRS score >=2. 7. Terminal illness (e.g., advanced malignancy, end-stage renal disease) with life expectancy <3 months. 8. Pregnancy or lactation. 9. Concurrent neurological disorders that may confound functional outcome assessments. 10. Known allergy or intolerance to PCSK9 inhibitors or statins. 11. Participation in another interventional clinical trial.
