Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Patients aged from 18 to 70 years.
  • 2\. Complaints of a Symptomatic ICAS: a history of recurrent transient ischemic attacks or an ischemic stroke within 1 year owing to a stenosis from 70% to 99% in an internal carotid artery, middle cerebral artery, vertebral artery, or basilar artery.
  • 3\. A length less than or equal to 15mm of a stenosis in the target vessel and a vessel size greater than or equal to 2mm.
  • 4\. Hypoperfusion in the territory of the target vessels, which is determined by CT or MRI in 14 days before stenting.
  • 5\. CT or MRI scans show no massive cerebral infarction (beyond half of the MCA territory), intracranial hemorrhage, epidural or sub\-dural hemorrhage, and intracranial brain tumor.
  • 6\. Patients who understand the purpose of the study and have provided informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Not able to receive general anesthesia.
  • 2\. Not able to receive angiographic assessment.
  • 3\. A stenosis \>50% in an extracranial carotid or vertebral artery on the ipsilateral side.
  • 4\. Infarctions due to the perforators occlusion (determined by MRI scan), which is defined as basal ganglia or brainstem/thalamus infarction related with middle cerebral artery or basilar artery stenosis.
  • 5\. A high risk (leading to a stroke or death) to deliver the stent to the lesion.
  • 6\. A previous stent or angioplasty in the target lesion.
  • 7\. Progressive neurological signs within 24 hours before enrolment
  • 8\. Any haemorrhagic infarct within 14 days before enrolment
  • 9\. The presence of a cardiac source of embolus
  • 10\. Thrombolytic therapy within 24 hours before enrollment
