title: Neck injury is critical to elastase-induced aneurysm model.
abstract: We modified the elastase-induced aneurysm model by use of a simple surgical technique in rabbits. A temporary arcuated aneurysm clip was placed at the origin of the right common carotid artery (RCCA), ascertaining the inner edge of the clip blade on the juncture of the RCCA and right subclavian artery (RSCA), and the elastase-induced aneurysm procedure was undertaken. We found elastase and location of the temporary arcuated aneurysm clip are critical to the success of this aneurysm model.
