① Carotid T or L type occlusion

② M1 MCA

③ M1-MCA equivalent (two or more M2-MCAs) However, anterior temporal artery is not regarded M2

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients who meets the exclusion criteria on imaging in intra-arterial re-canalization therapy ① CTA

Patients whose imaging shows that the site of occlusion considered the cause of acute ischemic stroke meets the following conditions:

A. MCA + PCA or MCA+ACA occlusion in Carotid T/L B. occlusion of a bilateral large artery C. simultaneous infiltration of anterior and posterior circulation

② absence of the collateral circulation corresponding to one of the followings: A. On CT angiography (MIP-CTA) imaging, absence or minimal collateral circulation at ≥50% of MCA territories, compared with pial filling of contralateral side of the lesion.

Patients whose heart diseases corresponding to following conditions were confirmed at screening:

① Patients who were diagnosed with myocardial infarction within 6 months at screening

② Patients who had severe arrhythmia evoking clinical symptoms (respiratory difficulties, tachycardia etc.) within 6 months at screening.

Patients whose ECG measured at the stable state at emergency room confirmed the following results:

Patients who were diagnosed with heart failure ≥ class II according to "heart failure classification by NYHA (New York Heart Association)" before screening.

"heart failure classification by NYHA (New York Heart Association)" Class I: patients with no limitation of activities; they suffer no symptoms from ordinary activities.

Class II: patients with slight, mild limitation of activity; they are comfortable with rest or with mild exertion.

Class III: patients with marked limitation of activity; they are comfortable only at rest.

Class IV: patients who should be at complete rest, confined to bed or chair; any physical activity brings on.

Patients who are pregnant or lactating. However, in case of a woman of child-bearing potential, only patients whose non-pregnancy was confirmed can participate in this clinical study.
Patients who participated in other clinical studies within past 3 months at the screening time as a base. However, in case of participation in an observatory study without medication, the patients can participate in this clinical study.
