Primate models are essential tools for translational research in stroke, but are reportedly inconsistent in their ability to produce cortical infarcts of reproducible size. Here we report a new stroke model using a transorbital, reversible, two-vessel occlusion approach in male rhesus macaques that produces consistent and reproducible cortical infarcts. The right middle cerebral artery (MCA) (distal to the orbitofrontal branch), and both anterior cerebral arteries (ACA) were occluded with vascular clips. Bilateral occlusion of the ACA was critical for reducing collateral flow to the ipsilateral cortex. Reversible ischemia were induced for 45, 60, or 90 minutes (n=2/timepoint) and infarct volume and neurological outcome were evaluated. The infarcts were located predominantly in the cortex and increased in size with extended duration of ischemia determined by T2-weighted MRI. Infarct volume measured by 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) and cresyl violet staining corroborated MRI results. Neurological deficit scores worsened gradually with longer occlusion times. A subset of animals (n=5) underwent 60 minutes of ischemia resulting in consistent infarct volumes primarily located to the cortex which correlated well with neurological deficit scores. This approach offers promise for evaluating therapeutic interventions in stroke.
