Scholarcy highlights
- The main objective of this study was to produce angiographic evidence of basilar artery constriction using the rabbit model
- The technique described involves the transdural injection of blood into the cisterna magna on two different days
- The results obtained show that vasoconstriction occurs over a time period that is comparable in duration to that seen in patients undergoing vasospasm as a result of subarachnoid hemorrhage
- Further investigation should be done to evaluate the usefulness of the rabbit model as a verifiable tool in studying the etiology of vasospasm
