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:
“Grandparents can be role models about areas that may not be significant to young children directly but that can teach them about patience and courage when we are ill, or handicapped by problems of aging. Our attitudes toward retirement, marriage, recreation, even our feelings about death and dying may make much more of an impression than we realize.”
—Eda Le Shan (20th century)
