Abstract
Stroke is the third-leading cause of death and the leading cause of acquired adult disability worldwide. Several ischemic stroke models are currently available. However, mimicking focal cerebral ischemia (FCI) is the most common. The formation of an embolic or thrombotic occlusion at or near the middle cerebral artery causes most events in FCI. The current protocol closely mimics the etiology of human stroke and ensures that the results obtained are highly relevant. The method described in this protocol yields reproducible results. The success of this model in ischemic research can be examined through the utilization of Doppler blood flow imaging equipment.
