Abstract
Cerebral embolism carries significant mortality and morbidity rates. Middle cerebral artery embolectomies which were performed in man with variable results have been reported by different authors. In order to define a time limit for embolectomies before irreversible damage is incurred, an experimental embolus model was used in dogs. Embolectomy carried out at 2, 3 and up to 5 h after embolism was relatively safe and effective. Beyond 5 h, embolectomy carried an increased risk of death and morbidity.
