ICAS - Intracranial Atherosclerosis | Combination Product: Stenting plus medical therapy Drug: Medical therapy alone | Not Applicable |
The main objective of this study is to investigate the impact of angiography-derived fractional flow (Angio-FF) on diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making in patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (sICAS). The study aims to evaluate whether stenting plus medical therapy, compared to medical therapy alone, can benefit patients selected through Angio-FF screening.
For Group A, patients with significant stenosis and hemodynamic impairment identified through Angio-FF (≤0.7) screening are expected to have a higher risk. The patients will be enrolled in RCT trial, with a planned enrollment of 336 subjects.
For Group B, patients with significant stenosis but without hemodynamic impairment identified through Angio-FF (>0.7) screening will be included in the registry cohort, with a planned enrollment of 200 subjects.
