Current rabbit stroke models often depend on symptoms as endpoints for embolization and produce wide variation in location, size, and severity of strokes. To further refine our angiographic embolic stroke model we correlated localized infarctions to neurological deficits. Our goal is a rabbit model for long term studies of therapies after stroke. New Zealand White rabbits (4–5 kg) (n=71) had selective internal carotid artery (ICA) angiography and a single clot was injected. At 24 hours neurological assessment scores (NAS) were measured on a 0=normal to 10=dead scale. Brains were removed and stained to identify stroke areas. All animals with single strokes, N=31, were analyzed by specific brain structure involvement and NAS values were correlated. Stroke incidence differed by location with cortex, subcortical, and basal ganglia regions highest. Distributions of middle cerebral artery (MCA) at 52% and anterior cerebral artery (ACA) at 29% were most commonly involved with largest stroke volumes in the ACA distribution. Brain stem and cerebellum strokes had disproportionately severe neurological deficits, scoring 2.25±1.0 vs. cortex (0.5±0.2), subcortical (1.3±0.4) and basal ganglia (0.5±0.3) all in the frontal or parietal regions on NAS (P≤0.02). MCA and ACA distributions included 81% of strokes. These sites were relatively silent (potentially allowing longer term survival studies) while others in the posterior circulation produced disproportionately severe symptoms. Symptoms were not reliable indicators of stroke occurrence and other endpoints such as imaging may be required. These are important steps towards refinement of the rabbit stroke model.
