What this Trial Is About
This clinical trial aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of intensive blood pressure lowering after successful reperfusion with thrombectomy in patients with acute anterior circulation large artery occlusive stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the optimal blood pressure range after revascularization with thrombectomy in patients with cerebral embolism? Can intensive blood pressure lowering improve outcomes in cerebral embolism patients following thrombectomy? Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group, which receives stricter blood pressure control (systolic blood pressure target \<120 mmHg), or the control group, which follows a conventional blood pressure management approach (systolic blood pressure target 140-180 mmHg). Outcomes will be assessed during a 3-month follow-up period.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if you...
- Age 18 years or older
- Scheduled to receive endovascular thrombectomy within 24 hours after symptom onset
- Diagnosed with acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke
- National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of 30 or less
- Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) of 6 or higher
- Confirmed occlusion of the intracranial internal carotid artery or M1/M2 segment of the middle cerebral artery by imaging
- Successful recanalization of the occluded vessel without in-situ or proximal stenosis (mTICI score 2b or higher)
- Sustained elevated systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg or higher for at least two consecutive measurements within 3 hours of reperfusion
- Written informed consent provided by the patient or legal representative
You will not qualify if you...
- Pre-existing stroke disability with modified Rankin score greater than 2
- Unlikely to benefit from or tolerate endovascular thrombectomy, including severe allergic reactions to contrast agents
- Failure to achieve mTICI score 2b or higher or presence of in situ or proximal vascular stenosis
- Contraindications to antihypertensive medications, such as allergies
- Intracranial space-occupying lesions like brain tumors or vascular malformations
- Severe liver dysfunction (ALT or AST more than 3 times the upper limit of normal)
- Severe kidney dysfunction (serum creatinine above 3.0 mg/dL or GFR below 30 mL/min/1.73 m2) or dialysis
- Serious illness with life expectancy less than 6 months
- Lactating women
- Participation in other interventional clinical trials within the last 3 months
- Any condition making the patient unsuitable for study participation or unable to complete study procedures, including psychiatric, cognitive, emotional, or physical impairments
