Electrolytic and FeCl₃ thrombosis models. (A) (i) Electrolytic injury with 18 mA results in short occlusion times only in the pentobarbitone treated cohort and (ii) these occlusions are largely stable when compared to the ket‐x and isoflurane‐treated groups (n = 5‐6). Bar indicates median time. (B) Rapid vessel occlusion occurs when 6% FeCl₃ is applied to the carotid artery under pentobarbitone and isoflurane anesthesia but not under ket‐x. Median times are shown. (ii) Thrombus stability is different in each of the three groups. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***^* P < 0.001 (one‐way ANOVA with Tukey post‐hoc analysis)
