A 37-yeаr-оld mаn, knоwn tо be аn insulin-dependent diabetic (IDDM), is brought into the emergency department (ED) by ambulance after a motor vehicle accident. Per EMS, he was the restrained driver of a vehicle when he apparently lost control of the car and drove into the center divide at highway speeds. Witnesses reported that the vehicle rolled over multiple times and the air bag did not deploy. There is severe damage to the front of the vehicle. Vital signs taken in the field showed a blood pressure of 110/85 mm Hg, heart rate 140 beats per minute, respirations 24 breaths per minute, oxygen saturation 98% on 15 L of oxygen via nonrebreather mask. During transport to the ED, the patient begins to seize. Paramedics describe tonic-clonic movements of all four extremities. He is given lorazepam 2-mg IV push with almost immediate resolution of the seizure. In the ED, on examination (once the seizure has stopped), his airway is patent, breath sounds are equal bilaterally, and pulses are bounding throughout.His Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is 8. His blood glucose is 75. It is noted that his right pupil is 5 mm and nonreactive, his left pupil is 3 mm and reactive. His tone is normal in all four extremities. His reflexes are 2+ throughout. His toes are downgoing bilaterally. His cardiovascular, respiratory, and abdominal examination are unremarkable. He is not wearing a medical alert bracelet.

In the ED at 9:30am, he has a left homonymous hemianopia and weakness and numbness of his left face and arm. Brain imaging studies show a proximal M1 occlusion with a substantial region of salvageable hypoperfused tissue (penumbra) in the distribution of the right middle cerebral artery and no evidence of hemorrhage or extensive early ischemic changes. His CT Perfusion study is below. His examination is notable only for a blood pressure of 150/90 and a glucose of 189. Which of the following treatments is indicated?
