In most preclinical models of focal ischemic stroke, vascular occlusion is performed under general anesthesia. However, anesthetic agents exert confounding effects on mean arterial blood pressure (MABP), cerebrovascular tone, oxygen demand, and neurotransmitter receptor transduction. Moreover, the majority of studies do not use a blood clot, which more fully models embolic stroke. Here, we developed a blood clot injection model to produce large cerebral artery ischemia in unanesthetized rats. Under isoflurane anesthesia, an indwelling catheter was implanted in the internal carotid artery via a common carotid arteriotomy and preloaded with a 0.38‐mm‐diameter clot of 1.5, 3, or 6 cm length. After discontinuing anesthesia, the rat was returned to a home cage where it regained normal mobility, grooming, eating activity, and a stable recovery of MABP. One hour later, the clot was injected over a 10‐s period and the rats were observed for 24 h. Clot injection produced a brief period of irritability, then 15–20 min of complete inactivity, followed by lethargic activity at 20–40 min, ipsilateral deviation of the head and neck at 1–2 h, and limb weakness and circling at 2–4 h. Neurologic deficits, elevated MABP, infarct volume, and increased hemisphere water content varied directly with clot size. Mortality after 6‐cm clot injection (53%) was greater than that after 1.5‐cm (10%) or 3‐cm (20%) injection. Combined non‐survivor groups had the greatest MABP, infarct volume, and water content. Among all groups, the pressor response correlated with infarct volume. The coefficient of variation of infarct volume with the 3‐cm clot was less than that in published studies with the filament or standard clot models, and therefore may provide stronger statistical power for stroke translational studies. The more severe outcomes from the 6‐cm clot model may be useful for the study of malignant stroke. In a refinement of the embolic clot stroke model, injection of different length blood clots into the internal carotid artery of unanesthetized rats produced graded increases in arterial blood pressure, brain water content, neurological deficits, and infarct volume. The increase in arterial pressure correlated with the eventual volume of infarcted brain tissue.
