Inclusion criteria
. Subjects who submitted a written informed consent prior to the participation in the current clinical trial (If the subjects have conditions that they cannot decide on study participation according to their own will, they would participate in the study after their legal representatives submitted a written informed consent form. During the period of study participation, if patients' medical conditions are improved, the written informed consent should be submitted again.)
. Patients with ischemic stroke attributed to carotid artery or middle cerebral artery occlusion achieved successful recanalization (TICI 2b or 3) immediately after endovascular treatment within 8 hours of symptom onset: Onset time was defined as the time when patients were lastly seen normal.
. Patients of both sexes aged between 18 and 80 years old
. NIHSS scores of 6-25 points at screening
. mRS 1 prior to the onset of disease, with proximal cerebral artery occlusion (e.g., those with middle cerebral or internal carotid artery)
Exclusion criteria
. No evaluation for cranial artery before endovascular treatment
. Patient with emergent stenting insertion in intracranial or extracranial artery
. Transient ischemic attack or lacunar infarction
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
