Abstract
We report a novel swine model that allows direct visualization of cervical arteries undergoing mechanical thrombectomy. The model also facilitates evaluation of histologic changes observed in the arteries after treatment. Swine superficial cervical arteries, which are similar in size and branching pattern to the human middle cerebral artery, were surgically exposed, occluded with experimental thrombus, and subsequently treated with the Merci clot retriever device. Angiographic and histologic assessment were performed.Entities:
