Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Age >=18 years, regardless of gender; 2. Clinically diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke, confirmed by imaging (CTA/MRA) as anterior circulation large vessel occlusion; 3. Underwent endovascular thrombectomy with successful postoperative reperfusion (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction [mTICI] grade 2b, 2c, or 3); 4. Baseline blood pressure: mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) >140 mmHg measured after admission and prior to any antihypertensive intervention (based on three consecutive readings taken at 10-minute intervals) 5. Time from symptom onset to completion of reperfusion <=24 hours; 6. Written informed consent provided by the patient or their legal representative.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Known or suspected secondary hypertension (e.g., uncontrolled pheochromocytoma or renovascular hypertension), patients with hepatic or renal failure, or those undergoing hemodialysis; 2. Blood pressure that cannot be controlled with antihypertensive medication; 3. Pregnant or breastfeeding women; 4. Pre-existing neurological or psychiatric disorders that would interfere with the assessment of neurological function; 5. Life expectancy <90 days (e.g., advanced malignancy) or inability to complete the 90-day follow-up; 6. currently participating in other clinical drug trials.
