Method of experimental constriction of renal artery for modeling of renovascular hypertension in rats.
We propose a method of constriction of the renal artery consisting in pulling of a loop of isolated artery into a thin plastic tube with calibrated inner diameter. This method can be used in experiments with constriction of other small blood vessels to diminish the local blood flow.
