Modified Approach for Establishing Filament-induced Permanent Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion Rats and Mice Models

BRAIN ischemia stroke is with more than 10% a devastating disease, stroke patients either severely disabled or dead. Although rodent filament middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)model can mimic human brain ischemic stroke well, its wide use was restricted by difficulty in surgery, especially in l...

Summary:BRAIN ischemia stroke is with more than 10% a devastating disease, stroke patients either severely disabled or dead. Although rodent filament middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)model can mimic human brain ischemic stroke well, its wide use was restricted by difficulty in surgery, especially in ligating pterygopalatine artery (PPA). Twenty-seven male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into A, B, C groups (n=9). All the rats were performed MCAO surgery with sutures of difference sizes. Group A used 4-0 blocking suture plus ipsilateral PPA block, group B used 3-0 blocking suture plus ipsilateral common carotid artery (CCA) block,
