Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1.Age >= 18 years; 2.A stroke event has occurred within the past 14 days to 6 months (mRS score <= 4), and this stroke event was caused by stenosis due to atherosclerosis in the intracranial large arteries (internal carotid artery at C5-C7, middle cerebral artery at M1 segment, vertebral artery at V4 segment, or basilar artery); 3.The degree of stenosis in the affected blood vessel is 70–99% (according to the WASID criteria), and this has been confirmed by DSA; 4.The patient or their legal representative understands the purpose and requirements of the study and has signed the informed consent form;

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.Those who are known to be allergic to the trial medication during the screening period; 2.Those for whom it is known at the time of screening that the intracranial stenosis is caused by non-atherosclerotic factors, including but not limited to: dissecting aneurysm, Moyamoya disease, vasculitis, viral vasculopathy, neurosyphilis, intracranial infection, radiation-induced vasculopathy, fibromuscular dysplasia, sickle cell disease, neurofibromatosis, reversible vasospastic syndrome, postpartum vasculopathy, vasospasm, or suspected recanalization after vascular embolism; 3.In cases where the responsible blood vessel cannot be clearly identified, such as bilateral vertebral artery stenosis in the intracranial segment exceeding 70%, or a series of lesions in the same-side extracranial segment with stenosis exceeding 50%; 4.Those who are allergic to contrast agents; 5.Those for whom it is known during the screening period that the responsible lesion has severe calcification; 6.Those with excessively tortuous blood vessels, where it is anticipated that the device will not be able to pass smoothly; 7.Those who have undergone endovascular treatment on the same side within the past 30 days; 8.Those with stents implanted in the responsible lesion, or who have undergone other endovascular treatments within the past 6 months, such as balloon dilation; 9.Those with an infarction area exceeding half of the MCA (middle cerebral artery) supply area; 10.Those with severe impairment of consciousness at the time of screening: NIHSS cognitive score of 1a or higher (>=2 points); 11.Those with a NIHSS score of =25 points; 12.Presence of severe swallowing dysfunction, and the inability or refusal to receive oral medications through a nasogastric tube; 13.Recent bleeding confirmed by CT/MRI, including cerebral parenchymal hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, subdural hemorrhage, or epidural hemorrhage, excluding microhemorrhages in the brain detected by SWI; 14.Clinical suspicion of subarachnoid hemorrhage despite negative results on CT or MRI; 15.Patients with a known history of bleeding disorders, including hereditary or acquired bleeding disorders, coagulation factor deficiencies, or other conditions identified by the researchers as high-risk for intracranial hemorrhage; 16.Active gastrointestinal ulcers with current bleeding tendencies: International Normalized Ratio (INR) > 1.5 after correction, bleeding duration exceeding the upper limit of 1 minute, or an increased risk of bleeding due to heparin-induced thrombocytopenia; severe systemic bleeding within 30 days before enrollment; 17.Patients with established severe cardiac, hepatic, or renal insufficiency at the time of screening: New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV heart function; glomerular filtration rate (GFR) three times the upper limit of normal; creatinine clearance rate 265 µmol/L (3.0 mg/dL); creatine kinase > five times the upper limit of normal; 18.Those who have experienced significant head injuries within 30 days prior to enrollment; 19.Those who have large intracranial tumors, giant cerebral aneurysms, or arteriovenous malformations prior to enrollment; 20.Those with a history of neurological or mental illnesses that could affect neurological function scores or prognostic assessments; those with severe neurological deficits that prevent them from living in
