Transclivai approach to rabbit basilar artery for experimental induction of chronic vasospasm

Acta Neurochirurgica volume 115, pages 123–126 (1992)Cite this article

Summary

An experimental technique for producing delayed cerebral vasospasm in a rabbit model is described. The basilar artery is punctured via the transclival route and angiographic verification is illustrated.
