From: Transient filament occlusion of the middle cerebral artery in rats: does the reperfusion method matter 24 hours after perfusion?

Figure 1

Magnetic resonance angiography in two different intraluminal middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)/reperfusion rat models. A, UNICAR group, only the right common carotid artery supplied the brain (thick arrows) after reperfusion, the left common carotid artery remained occluded after reperfusion, the left brain is supplied by the contralateral carotid artery via the communication artery; B, BICAR group, bilateral common carotid artery (thick arrows) supplied the brain after reperfusion. The bilateral middle cerebral arteries after reperfusion are shown well in either UNICAR or BICAR model, which indicates that the two models have similar extent of reperfusion. The thin arrows indicate middle cerebral artery in A and B.
