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:
“Friends broaden our horizons. They serve as new models with whom we can identify. They allow us to be ourselves—and accept us that way. They enhance our self-esteem because they think we’re okay, because we matter to them. And because they matter to us—for various reasons, at various levels of intensity—they enrich the quality of our emotional life.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
