Table 1 Main results

From: The site of embolization related to infarct size, oedema and clinical outcome in a rat stroke model - further translational stroke research

Type of occlusion N Percent post-operative weight loss Oedema in percent of the volume of the left hemisphere Volume of infarct in percent of the right hemisphere
     Subcortex Cortex Total infarct
MCA 11 5.5 (5-6) 5.6 (2-11) 20.5 (9-29) 17.2 (9-18) 40 (23-47)
Intracranial ICA 19 5.9 (5-8) 6.6 (2-12) 19.9 (12-34) 16.6 (13-23) 40 (22-56)
Extracranial ICA 5 4.8* (1-5) 0.8* (0-1) 0.7*** (0-1) 2.0** (1-3) 3.5*** (2-5)
  1. Main results: postoperative weight loss, volumes of oedema and infarction. Median values and values in brackets are 25 and 75 percentiles. The 5 animals with an extracranial ICAO significantly differed from all the other 30 animals with an intracranial site of occlusion. * = p < 0.05, ** = p < 0.01, *** = p < 0.001.
