Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

It remains uncertain whether intravenous tirofiban administered before endovascular thrombectomy could improve disability severity for patients with LVO due to intracranial atherosclerosis.The current study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of administering intravenous tirofiban before endovascular thrombectomy for improving clinical outcomes in patients with anterior circulation LVO due to intracranial atherosclerosis.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Age ≥ 18 years;
* Anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (the internal carotid artery or the first or second segment of the middle cerebral artery) confirmed by computed tomography angiography (CTA) or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA);
* Eligible for endovascular treatment within 12 hours of symptom onset;
* Based on the patient's medical history, clinical presentation, and imaging findings, large artery atherosclerosis is highly suspected as the underlying etiology;
* Baseline National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) ≥ 6;
* Baseline ASPECTS ≥ 6 on CT;
* A pre-stroke modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of ≤2;
* Signed informed consent by patient or their legally authorized representative.

Exclusion Criteria

* Hemorrhagic stroke: cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, or a history of bleeding within one month;
* Intracranial aneurysms or malformations, tortuous arteries that hinder thrombectomy, and space-occupying effect brain tumors;
* The following drugs are taken within one week: dual antiplatelet drugs, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), warfarin and other drugs that increase the risk of bleeding;
* Severe uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure over 200mmHg or diastolic blood pressure over 110 mmHg);
