Schmidt, Osman Öcal, Anne von Thaden, Olaf Dietrich, Bastian Popper, Sandra Elges, Max Seidensticker, Jens Ricke, Melanie A. Kimm, Astrid Jeibmann, Moritz Wildgruber

“…The stent-retriever model resulted in less periprocedural morbidity (including expenditure, intubation time, anesthetics, and end-tidal CO2 level) and mortality (40% mortality in the conventional group compared to 0% in the stent-retriever model, p = 0.011), while generating lumen-narrowing atherosclerotic lesions with key features as compared to humans as revealed by time-of-flight magnetic resonance imaging and histology. Conclusion We developed a minimally invasive model of iliac atherosclerosis with high reproducibility and improved animal welfare for translational research. …”
