AB Summary: We have developed a model of reversible cerebral ischemia in a high-level nonhuman primate. By using endovascular techniques, the posterior cerebral artery is permanently occluded with coils, and the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery is temporarily occluded with a balloon. The balloon can be deflated and/or removed to reestablish flow at precise time intervals. Functional imaging of the brain can be performed during occlusion and reperfusion, since the balloon can be deflated or removed in a scanner.
