Carotid arterial supply of the feline brain. Applications to the study of regional cerebral ischemia.
A study of the supply to the feline brain by the carotid-middle cerebral arteries was conducted using in vivo transcardiac injection with a mixture of micropaque and carbon black. Modifications in the filling pattern of the arterial vessels were visualized following short-term occlusion of a middle cerebral artery. A modified surgical method to induce occlusion of the M-l segment of the middle cerebral artery is also described.
