The canine middle cerebral artery (MCA) was embolized with a pliable
cylinder 8 mm long by 1.6 mm in diameter via the internal carotid artery.
Both control and experimental embolectomies were performed 6 hours
following embolization. The experimental animals were treated with low
molecular weight dextran (LMD). In the control animals, the average volume
of infarction in the brain was 1.45 cm.3 In the experimental animals the
average volume of infarction was 0.13 cm.3
