This study is testing a treatment for certain types of strokes called **ischemic strokes**, which happen when a blood vessel in the brain gets blocked. The study will look at people who have a blocked large blood vessel but only mild symptoms, as measured by the **NIHSS** (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale) score of 0 to 5. The study aims to find out if using a procedure called **immediate mechanical thrombectomy** (iMT), which is a way to physically remove the blockage right away, helps more than just using medicine. The goal is to see if people feel better 90 days later.
**Key Points to Consider:**
- The study starts if the stroke began less than 8 hours ago.
- Involves a special test to look at blood vessels in the brain.
- Participants must be 18 or older and able to receive treatment quickly.
Some people cannot join, like those with severe symptoms, certain medical conditions, or if they've joined another study recently. This study is important because it could help doctors decide the best way to treat mild strokes with blocked blood vessels.
