Generating a Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion in a Rat Pup to Induce Local Brain Ischemia

Source: Larpthaveesarp, A., et. al. Transient Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion Model of Neonatal Stroke in P10 Rats. J. Vis. Exp. (2017)This video demonstrates the establishment of the Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion model in a rat pup. The internal carotid artery (ICA) is exposed, and a ligature is secured to restrict blood flood. An occlude is inserted through the ICA to reach the Middle Cerebral Artery. The pup is then allowed to recover before further analysis.
