Experimental models are essential for research on ischemic stroke, the second most common cause of death worldwide. The failure of clinical trials on neuroprotective treatment may be due in part to poor animal models. To push the translation of new therapies, we describe a new rat model that captures key elements of human brain ischemia. The model includes imaging and neurointerventional tools that represent the near future of clinical diagnosis and treatment of stroke.
