According to the American Heart Association (AHA), stroke is the 5th leading cause of death in the USA, and every 4 out of 5 strokes are ischemic in nature: they are caused by a thrombus or embolus clogging one of the major cerebral arteries, or their branches.
The complex pathophysiologic nature of ischemic strokes makes it challenging to only use a single animal model that encompases all the different facets of the disease. At PharmaLegacy, our Intracerebral Hemorrhage model and our Ischemia-reperfusion Stroke Induced by MCAO model provide your preclinical studies with a more holistic approach on the disease.
