Abstract
A technique for the experimental creation of a venous thrombus in the rat is described. This technique involves a circumferential stretching of the intima, which maximizes intraluminal collagen exposure without complete separation of the vessel wall. This thrombotic method was 94.4% effective at complete vessel occlusion after 24 hours in 40 treated veins. This model is of particular interest in the in vivo evaluation of thrombolytic agents in the laboratory setting and as an adjunct to thrombotic complications in microsurgery.
