Abstract:

Objective To study the anatomy of Cerebral Artery System in New Zealand white rabbits and to found the imaging base for establishing cerebrovascular disease models of rabbits. Methods Catheterization of internal carotid artery in 20 New Zealand white rabbits was carried out and followed by cerebral angiography.The New Zealand white rabbits cerebral arterial anatomy was analyzed. Results The arterial system in anterior and posterior circulation was clearly visualized. The anatomy of Cerebral Arterial System in New Zealand white rabbits was similar to human brain artery. Conclusion Super-selective cerebral angiography was helpful to better display the anterior and posterior circulation in rabbits. The anatomy of Cerebral Arterial System in New Zealand white rabbits is similar to human brain artery.

Key words: Cerebral artery system, Digital subtraction angiography, New Zealand white rabbit
