Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Percentage of Participants with In-Stent Restenosis	In-stent restenosis greater than (>) 50 percent (%) at 12 months post-procedure as assessed by an independent Imaging Core Lab will be reported. The percent stenosis of an intracranial artery is calculated according to the warfarin-aspirin symptomatic intracranial disease (WASID) criteria: percent stenosis= ([1-{Dstenosis/Dnormal}]) * 100, where Dstenosis = the diameter of the artery at the site of the most severe stenosis and Dnormal = the diameter of the proximal normal artery.	At 12 months post-procedure
Secondary	Number of Participants with Technical Success	Technical success immediately post-procedure is defined as complete stent coverage and residual stenosis less than or equal to (<=) 50% as assessed by an independent Imaging Core Lab.	Immediately post-procedure (Day 0)
Secondary	Number of Participants with In-Stent Restenosis	In-stent restenosis (>50%) at 6 months post-procedure as assessed by an independent Imaging Core Lab will be reported. The percent stenosis of an intracranial artery is calculated according to the warfarin-aspirin symptomatic intracranial disease (WASID) criteria: percent stenosis=([1-{Dstenosis/Dnormal}]) * 100, where Dstenosis = the diameter of the artery at the site of the most severe stenosis and Dnormal = the diameter of the proximal normal artery.	At 6 months post-procedure
Secondary	National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) Scores	NIHSS scores at 6 months and 12 months post-procedure will be reported. NIHSS score is a tool used to objectively quantify the impairment caused by a stroke and to evaluate stroke severity. It ranges from 0 to 42, with 42 being the highest and 0 being the lowest. The higher the NIHSS score, the worse the neurological function.	At 6 months and 12 months post-procedure
Secondary	Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) Scores	mRS scores at 30 days, 6 months and 12 months post-procedure will be reported. mRS score is a commonly used scale for measuring the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people who have suffered a stroke. It ranges from 0 to 5. The higher the mRS score, the worse the prognosis.	At 30 days, 6 months and 12 months post-procedure
Secondary	Number of Participants Free of Ischemic Stroke within the Territory of Stented Vessel	Ischemic stroke within the territory of stented vessel from 30 days to 12 months post-procedure as assessed by the independent clinical events committee will be reported.	From 30 days to 12 months post-procedure
