Abstract

Objective To construct canine bifurcation aneurysms suitable for evaluating the exploration of endovascular devices for interventional therapy by endovascular technique.Methods The right common carotid artery of six dogs was expanded with a pliable balloon by means of endovascular technique, then embolization with detached balloon was taken at their originations DAS examination were performed on 1,2,3 d after the procedurse. Results 6 aneurysm models were created in six dogs successfully with the mean width and height of the aneurysms decreasing in 3 days.Conclusions This canine aneurysm model presents the virture in the size and shape of human cerebral bifurcation saccular aneurysms on DSA image, suitable for developing the exploration of endovascular devices for aneurismal therapy. The procedure is quick, reliable and reproducible.
