ABSTRACT
A new model for establishing a successful and consistent arterial recirculation has been devised following middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion in the rat. A snare ligature was introduced at the stem of the MCA just distal to the lenticulostriate branches, and occlusion and recirculation were performed by pulling and releasing the thread. This method had an advantage over the use of a small clip which caused damage to the artery without good recirculation. Study of local cerebral blood flow using carbon-14 (14C)-iodoantipyrine, of cerebrovascular permeability using 14C-aminoisobutyric acid, and of brain-water content using the microgravimetric technique was performed upon recirculation following various periods of occlusion and compared with the results in permanent ischemia. A reactive hyperemia was noted within the previously ischemic area immediately upon recirculation following either a 30-minute or a 2-hour ischemic period. One or 2 hours later, delayed hypoperfusion developed in this region, but the circulation over the periphery of the ischemic area recovered well. Cerebrovascular permeability was not, however, altered during the time courses studied. Topographic changes in tissue specific gravity were compared between permanent and transient ischemia in the corresponding time-courses. Although there was a greater decrease in tissue specific gravity following recirculation when the ischemic period was maintained longer, edema formation was resolved by recirculation. Further study is required to determine thresholds of ischemic brain damage and edema formation at recirculation following focal cerebral ischemia.
