Abstract
A new microsurgical model of combined carotid arteries–aortic arch transplantation in the rat is described. In this model, the combined carotid arteries–aortic arch were harvested and end‐to‐end anastomosed to the recipient's right carotid artery using a sleeve anastomosis technique. The total graft ischemia time and in particular the time required to perform the arterial anastomoses was significantly reduced. No surgical failure was encountered. Ten‐day graft patency was 100% (15/15). Our study results demonstrated that the sleeve anastomosis technique for combined carotid arteries–aortic arch transplantation in the rat is fast and easy to perform and has a high rate of success. © 2001 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract In recent years, portal arterialization has been used in liver transplantation to increase the portal flow, as a solution for singular technical problems. We have developed a new auxiliary liver transplantation model in the rat with portal arterialization, so the native hepatic hilium r
We report a new model of embolic stroke in the rat, based on endothelial disruption and platelet aggregation in the carotid artery, which leads to distal embolization and focal brain infarction. The common carotid artery was irradiated for 6.5 minutes with the focused beam of an argon laser operated
