Notes:
Summary in Long Evans rats, the vertebral arteries supply only the brain stem. Simultaneous application of clamps to both carotid arteries results in a considerable fall of cerebral blood flow and eventually death. If an interval of about 4 days is allowed between the clamping of the 2 carotids, redistribution of blood flow takes place. Owing to this mechanism, 50% of the rats survive with a satisfactory restoration of cerebral blood flow.
