Introduction of a microsurgical in-vivo embolization-model in rats: the aorta-filter model.

Vascular thrombosis with subsequent distal embolization remains a critical event for patients. Prevention of this life-threatening event can be achieved pharmacologically or mechanically with intravascular filter systems. The ability to evaluate the risk of embolization of certain techniques and pro...
