Comparison of Anti-coagulation and Anti-Platelet Therapies for Intracranial Vascular Atherostenosis

The primary goal of the trial is to determine if the experimental arms (rivaroxaban or ticagrelor or both) are superior to the clopidogrel arm for lowering the 1-year rate of ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, or vascular death.

A Randomized Trial of the Rapamycin Target Eluting Stent for the Treatment of Symptomatic Cerebral Artery Atherosclerotic Disease（TARGET-DREAM）

The trial is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, superiority, randomized controlled clinical trial. The experimental groups include two types of drug-eluting stents: * Experimental Device A, a self-expanding rapamycin target-eluting stent (MicroPort NeuroTech, Shanghai, China) * Experimental Device B, a balloon-expandable rapamycin target-eluting stent (MicroPort NeuroTech, Shanghai, China) The device used in the control group is the Apollo® Intracranial Artery Stent System, a balloon-expandable bare-metal stent (MicroPort NeuroTech, Shanghai, China), According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria specified in the protocol, approximately 249 subjects with symptomatic cerebral artery atherosclerotic stenosis will be enrolled in China and randomized to Experimental Group A, Experimental Group B, or the control group. Considering the broader applicability of Experimental Device A and Experimental Device B compared to the control device, a specification subgroup is established. 20 subjects with lesions only suitable for the unique specifications of Experimental Device A or Experimental Device B will be enrolled in China. These subjects will not undergo randomization, and their data will be analyzed separately without hypothesis testing. Moreover, a subgroup of Experimental Device B is established at a study center in Brazil. 10 subjects meeting the trial's inclusion and criteria will be enrolled. These subjects will not undergo randomization, and their data will be analyzed separately without hypothesis testing, only to support overseas registration. Overall, the total sample size for the study is 279 subjects. Clinical assessment will be conducted for all subjects before the procedure, during the procedure, at discharge, at 1 month (±7 days) follow-up, at 6 months (±30 days) follow-up, and at 12 months (±60 days) follow-up. At 12 months (±60 days), patients will undergo follow-up with DSA imaging. Unscheduled follow-ups may be performed as needed to record relevant indicators and evaluate the safety and efficacy of the two drug-eluting stents in the treatment of symptomatic cerebral artery atherosclerotic stenosis.

A Registry Study of Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis Treatment by Intracranial Drug-eluting Stenting in China

The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of the NOVA intracranial drug-eluting stent system in "real world" patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis.

Pair Antiplatelet THerapy in Ischemic Stroke With Intracranial Artery Stenosis

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about efficacy and safety of dual antiplatelet therapy in ischemic stroke with intracranial artery stenosis. The main question it aims to answer are: whether aspirin combined with clopidogrel for 3 month is better than 1 months for patients with non-cardiogenic cerebral infarction with intracranial artery stenosis. Participants will get dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin plus clopidogrel) for 1 month or 3 months within 7 days of the first stroke. Researchers will compare experimental group (3 months dual antiplatelet therapy) with comparison group (1 month dual antiplatelet therapy), to see if experimental group would reduce stroke recurrence or mortality, and increase bleeding and other adverse prognosis.

Remote Ischemic Conditioning Combined With Endovascular Stenting for Symptomatic Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis

The purpose of this registry is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RIC for patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (sICAS) undergoing endovascular therapy.
