Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Age >= 18 years; 2. Time from symptom onset to randomization within 24 hours; 3. A preliminary diagnosis of ischemic stroke with a non-cardiogenic embolic etiology based on patient history, clinical symptoms, or imaging findings; 4. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score >= 6; 5. Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) >= 3; 6. Occlusion of the internal carotid artery, M1/M2 segment of the middle cerebral artery (MCA), vertebral artery, or basilar artery confirmed by computed tomography angiography (CTA), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), or digital subtraction angiography (DSA), with a decision to proceed with endovascular treatment; 7. Achievement of successful vascular recanalization (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction [mTICI] grade 2-3) following endovascular treatment, with the decision for adjunctive balloon angioplasty or stent placement left to the operator's discretion; 8. Absence of PH-type hemorrhagic transformation on immediate post-procedural head CT (or CT-like imaging from the DSA system); 9. Provision of written informed consent by the patient or legal guardian.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. A history of documented atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter, or atrial flutter or atrial fibrillation confirmed by 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) prior to randomization and after admission; 2. Intracranial hemorrhage confirmed by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or a history of hemorrhage within the past month; 3. A pre-stroke modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score > 2, or use of medications that increase bleeding risk within one week, including dual antiplatelet therapy, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), or warfarin; 4. Participation in other clinical trials or inability to complete follow-up; 5. Allergy to the study drugs or contrast agents; pregnancy or lactation; uncontrolled hypertension; hemorrhagic diathesis; deficiency of anticoagulant factors or an international normalized ratio (INR) > 1.7; abnormal blood glucose; platelet count < 90×10?/L; 6. Severe renal insufficiency, or a terminal illness with a life expectancy < 6 months; 7. Intracranial aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation; arterial tortuosity precluding thrombectomy; space-occupying brain tumor.
