Type of occlusion | N | Percent post-operative weight loss | Oedema in percent of the volume of the left hemisphere | Volume of infarct in percent of the right hemisphere | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Subcortex | Cortex | Total infarct | ||||
MCA | 11 | 5.5 (5-6) | 5.6 (2-11) | 20.5 (9-29) | 17.2 (9-18) | 40 (23-47) |
Intracranial ICA | 19 | 5.9 (5-8) | 6.6 (2-12) | 19.9 (12-34) | 16.6 (13-23) | 40 (22-56) |
Extracranial ICA | 5 | 4.8* (1-5) | 0.8* (0-1) | 0.7*** (0-1) | 2.0** (1-3) | 3.5*** (2-5) |
Main results: postoperative weight loss, volumes of oedema and infarction. Median values and values in brackets are 25 and 75 percentiles. The 5 animals with an extracranial ICAO significantly differed from all the other 30 animals with an intracranial site of occlusion. * = p < 0.05, ** = p < 0.01, *** = p < 0.001.
