Lessons from a Mouse Model Characterizing Features of Vascular Cognitive Impairment with White Matter Changes
Figure 1
The procedure for BCAS and the microcoil. The microcoil is twined by rotating it around the CCA just proximal to the carotid bifurcation of a C57BL/6J mouse (a). Representative photographs of a FITC-perfused common carotid artery before (left) and after (right) placement of a microcoil (b). The microcoil is made from piano wire (wire diameter of 0.08 mm) with an inner diameter of 0.18 mm, pitch 0.50 mm, and total length 2.5 mm (c).
