Schematic of the experimental system that includes ECA and ICA circulation loops. The flow through the ECA loop is filtered and recirculated, whereas the effluent of the ICA loop where the MET is performed is captured for particulate analysis. Location of the flow sensors and pressure transducers is noted. Use of an anastomosis between the distal ICA and ECA along with the Starling resistors maintains a physiologic pressure gradient across the MCA occlusion.
