- People with a significant narrowing (70%–99%) of certain brain arteries, confirmed by a specialised X-ray procedure called DSA, that is causing symptoms
- People who have had a mild stroke (with a low symptom severity score) within the past week, or a worsening of stroke symptoms, or a high-risk mini-stroke (TIA) within the past week
- People whose affected artery measures between 2.0 and 4.5mm wide, with the narrowed section being no longer than 14mm
- People who were able to carry out most daily activities independently before treatment (confirmed with a standard disability scale)

- People who have had bleeding in the brain on the same side as the target artery within the past 3 months, or on the opposite side within the past 2 weeks
- People who have atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat), serious heart problems, or significant liver or kidney disease — or people with a serious illness where life expectancy is estimated at one year or less
- People with low red blood cell levels, low platelet counts, or blood clotting problems that cannot be corrected
- People with blood pressure that cannot be brought under control (above certain thresholds)
