Surgical approach to ovine transient MCAO. Surgical approach (A), showing site of incision (1; black dashed line) posterior to the orbital rim (2) and superior to the coronoid process (3). This approach enabled the skull base to be accessed without disrupting the coronoid process or zygomatic arch (5), allowing for craniotomy (4) and direct access to the MCA, whilst ensuring post-operative recovery of the animal and the ability to masticate following the procedure. Superior view of craniotomy site (B) showing the aneurysm clip applied to the proximal MCA.
