Abstract
Conclusions
It is concluded that acute permanent unilateral complete carotid (common, internal and external) or bilateral common carotid occlusions are well tolerated by monkeys. However, bilateral acute permanent complete carotid (common, internal and external) occlusions are only occasionally well tolerated. Bilateral complete carotid occlusions are more likely to be well tolerated if right and left sides are ligated separatel with a prolonged interval (over 6 weeks) between the 2-sided occlusions to permit establishment of adequate collateral circulation.
