Focal Ischemia Models
They are divided into techniques including reperfusion of the ischemic tissue (transient focal cerebral ischemia) and those without reperfusion (permanent focal cerebral ischemia). The following models are established :
- Endothelin-1 -induced constriction of arteries and veins
- Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)
- MCAO avoiding craniotomy
- Embolic middle cerebral artery occlusion
- Endovascular filament middle cerebral artery occlusion (transient or permanent)
- MCAO involving craniotomy
- Permanent transcranial middle cerebral artery occlusion
- Transient transcranial middle cerebral artery occlusion
- MCAO avoiding craniotomy
- Direct tissue damage
- Cerebrocortical photothrombosis

Famous quotes containing the word models:
“French rhetorical models are too narrow for the English tradition. Most pernicious of French imports is the notion that there is no person behind a text. Is there anything more affected, aggressive, and relentlessly concrete than a Parisan intellectual behind his/her turgid text? The Parisian is a provincial when he pretends to speak for the universe.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
