Focal Cerebral Ischemia Model by Endovascular Suture Occlusion of the Middle Cerebral Artery in the Rat
Published on: February 5, 2011
Abstract:
During the last three decades, carotid artery occlusive disease has changed from an obscure and rarely diagnosed condition to a clearly understood and frequently seen neurologic disorder. Its medical management and its surgical treatment are constantly improving. Ophthalmologists, together with neurologists, have contributed greatly to the understanding of the ocular signs and symptoms of carotid artery disease. Using his knowledge of these signs and symptoms, the ophthalmologist may make a significant contribution in the diagnosis and treatment of carotid artery occlusive disease.
