Chimowitz Treatment of Intracranial Atherosclerosis 2665 patients, as shown in analyses that Seemant Chaturvedi and Tanya Turan led. These analyses suggested that patients with a mean systolic blood pressure of< 140 mm Hg or mean cholesterol< 200 mg/dL during follow-up had significantly lower rates of stroke alone as well as major vascular events compared with patients who did not achieve these targets. 18, 19 These data were the basis for the intensive risk factor management protocols used in the subsequent SAMMPRIS trial. When we were designing WASID, we were well aware of the advances in stent technology and interventional techniques that had been made since the original paper of Sundt et al20 on angioplasty for basilar artery stenosis. So the prespecified secondary aim in WASID was to identify patients at high risk of stroke in the territory of the stenotic artery who would be the target population for a subsequent trial comparing endovascular therapy with medical treatment that became SAMMPRIS. Scott Kasner8 led this work, which showed that the most important predictor of recurrent stroke was severity of stenosis. Patients with< 70% stenosis had a stroke in the territory rate of 7% to 8% at 1 year, whereas the rate was 18% at 1 year in patients with≥ 70% stenosis. The risk was even higher in patients with 70% to 99% stenosis if their qualifying event for WASID had occurred within 30 days of enrollment (22.9% at 1 year). However, the risk was modest in patients with 70% to 99% stenosis if their qualifying event had occurred> 30 days before enrollment (9% at 1 year). These data led to the decision to restrict enrollment in SAMMPRIS to patients with 70% to 99% stenosis whose qualifying event occurred within 30 days before enrollment.Just as WASID ended, the Wingspan stent system was approved by the Food and Drug Administration under a humanitarian device exemption for patients with 50% to 99% stenosis who are refractory to medical management21 on the basis of a single arm trial of 45 patients performed in Europe and Asia. 22 In clinical practice, the refractory to medical management indication for use of the Wingspan stent was largely interpreted to mean having a TIA or stroke related to intracranial stenosis while taking any antithrombotic therapy. Two multicenter registries performed in the United States after Food and Drug Administration approval of the Wingspan system (the US Multicenter registry23 and the NIH Wingspan registry) 24 and a single center study in Asia25 showed high technical success rates (96.7%–98.8%) using the self-expanding Wingspan stent and possibly lower stroke rates at 1 year compared with WASID patients with 70% to 99% stenosis. A randomized trial was needed to determine whether stenting lowered the risk of stroke compared with medical therapy in high-risk patients, which brings us to the SAMMPRIS trial. SAMMPRIS is a randomized trial comparing stenting with the Wingspan system plus aggressive medical management versus aggressive medical management alone in patients with 70% to 99% intracranial stenosis and a qualifying TIA or stroke within 30 days before enrollment. 26 With the exception of the peri-procedural period, aggressive medical management is the same in both arms of the trial. 27 Clopidogrel (75 mg/d) is combined with aspirin (325 mg/d) for 90 days, followed by aspirin alone> 90 days. Management of the primary risk factors (systolic blood
