    The study analyzed 174 patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis undergoing endovascular intervention.

    Early intervention (≤14 days) showed 30-day stroke or death rates of 11.3%, while delayed intervention (>14 days) had rates of 8.3%.

  • 3

    Factors influencing intervention timing included preoperative NIHSS, albumin-to-globulin ratio, and LDL levels.

  • 4

    For anterior circulation sICAS with minor strokes, intervention timing may be flexible, while basilar artery lesions favor delayed intervention.

  • 5

    The findings suggest the need for further prospective studies to validate the optimal timing for endovascular treatment in sICAS patients.
