Patency of Cerebral Microvessels after Focal Embolic Stroke in the Rat
TL;DR: Investigation of the patency of brain microvessels after injection of a preformed clot into the right internal carotid artery of rats suggests that intracerebral clots dissolve spontaneously in a relatively short period of time, but that fragments formed from the clot may obstruct more distal blood vessels.

Identification Of Echocardiographic “Smoke” in a Bench Model With Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound
TL;DR: The results suggest that smokelike echo is a special echo phenomenon occurring at low flow situations and does not itself produce material capable of embolizing into the systemic circulation.

A new reproducible focal cerebral ischemia model by introduction of polyvinylsiloxane into the middle cerebral artery: a comparison study
TL;DR: The data suggests that permanent focal cerebral ischemia with high reproducibility and low mortality can be achieved by introducing PVS into the right MCA.

Intraarterial Urokinase Produces Significant Attenuation of Infarction Volume in an Embolic Focal Ischemia Model
TL;DR: A thrombin model of MCA occlusion and the neuroprotective effects of intraarterial thrombolysis with two doses of urokinase is reported, which may in the future be used to test the protective effects of combination therapy with throm Bolysis and neuroProtective medications.

Turbulence and Circulating Cerebral Emboli Detectable at Doppler Ultrasonography: A Differentiation Study in a Stenotic Middle Cerebral Artery Model
TL;DR: TCD-detectable turbulence predominantly developed at a moderate arterial stenosis and its acoustic signature with TCD is different from that caused by air bubbles and platelet-rich clots.
