Abstract excerpt

The branching patterns of the proximal middle cerebral artery (MCA) and their influence on the infarct size following MCA occlusion in rats were studied. In the proximal part from the level of the olfactory tract, the MCA most often presented one surface branch extending anteriorly, with a variab...
