Five embolic vascular occlusions were created in 4 rabbits by injecting thermally coagulated blood through a 4F catheter in the common carotid artery. Angiography immediately after clot injection showed complete or partial occlusion of the common carotid artery. Posttreatment angiography showed complete (2/5), partial (2/5), or no (1/5) restoration of blood flow.}, issn = {0195-6108}, URL = {https://www.ajnr.org/content/28/5/872}, eprint = {https://www.ajnr.org/content/28/5/872.full.pdf}, journal = {American Journal of Neuroradiology} }
