RESUMO

An experimental model of ischemic stroke (AVE) was investigated in healthy young female swine, at 20kg weight, of farms of São Paulo. The animals were sedated using an association of ketamine (5m/kg), midazolam (0.5mg/kg) and Fentanyl (0.005 mg/kg) IM; the maintenance was provided by tracheal entubation and isofluorane (1.5%). Fluid therapy was promoted through a catheter displaced in an auricular vein. Followed the catheterization of the femoral artery with the aid of a fluoroscope (Phillips®), the catheter was directed to the left internal carotid artery being possible the identification of the rete mirabile epidurale rostrale with the application of a radiopaque contratst. After the identification of the rete mirabile epidurale rostrale it was promoted the infusion of 1.0g of glass microsphere (0.4mm diameter); the same procedure was promoted on the right antimere through the right internal carotid artery, therefore, 2.0g of glass microsphere was injected in each animal. The animals were submitted to resonance scanning exam at day 4 (96 hours), after the surgical event, at the Physics Institute - USP. The resonance exam was carried out with the animals under intravenous anesthesia using continuous infusion of propofol (3mg/kg). The scanned images were analyzed and revealed focal cerebral ischemia at some regions mainly in the left antimere of the cerebellum, which can explain the clinical symptoms. We would infer the applied technique is suitable to develop ischemic stroke in swine and the animal modeling allows the investigation of therapeutics for this illness which compromises a significant economically.
