Abstract
The technique for creating a distal, highโflow aortocaval fistula in rats is described in detail. This reliable, inexpensive model lends itself easily to radiologic study and experimental manipulation and may be useful in studying the histologic and pathologic effects of the detachable balloon technique technique in treating arteriovenous fistulae in humans.

## Abstract Four groups (I, II, III, and IV) of six Wistar rats each were studied to elucidate the blood pressure changes following creation of arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) of diameters 1, 2, and 3 mm (groups II, III, and IV, respectively). Group I comprised normal rats with no AVF. Blood pressures
A histopathological study, with a light microscope, of experimental neuromyopathy produced by thallotoxicosis was undertaken in 40 newborn Wistar rats. Treatment consisted of a single i.p. injection of an aqueous solution of 16 mg kg-I thallium(1) acetate 1 day after birth. Groups of ten animals wer
