Animal models of atherosclerosis are essential to understand the mechanism and to investigate newer approaches to prevent plaque development or rupture, a leading cause of death in the industrialized world. This protocol uses a combination of balloon injury and cholesterol rich diet to induce atherosclerotic plaques in rabbit iliac artery.

This manuscript provides the detailed procedure of intra-iliac artery (IIA) injection, a technique to deliver cancer cells specifically to hind limb tissues including bones to establish experimental bone metastases. Although initially established with breast tumor models, this protocol can be easily extended to other cancer types.

We describe a method for creating a reliable model of cerebral venous hypertension in the adult mouse. This model has been widely described and tested in the rat. This new counterpart in the mice opens the possibility of using genetic modified animals and thereby broadens the applications of the model.

Neointimal hyperplasia is the primary cause of stenosis in arterialized veins. We propose a new protocol whereby the right external jugular vein is grafted using the cuff technique in the common carotid artery of Sprague Dawley rats. The survival rate was 100 % at the time point of sacrifice.

Different models of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo) are used in experimental stroke research. Here, an experimental stroke model of transient MCAo via the external carotid artery (ECA) is described, which aims to mimic human stroke, in which the cerebrovascular thrombus is removed due to spontaneous clot lysis or therapy.
FAQs
Near the vessel’s transition beneath the inguinal ligament, these branches leave the external iliac artery and supply parts of the lower abdominal wall. Their origin and distribution add detail to the vessel’s anatomy beyond its main continuation toward the leg, making them useful landmarks when interpreting pelvic and lower abdominal vascular relationships.
Following the external iliac artery along the pelvic brim helps connect pelvic anatomy with the lower-limb pathway. The vessel’s passage beneath the inguinal ligament provides a precise landmark for recognizing where the femoral artery begins. This relationship is important in anatomy because a small change in location or terminology can alter interpretation of vascular diagrams, imaging, or operative anatomy.
The named branches near the inguinal transition distinguish the vessel’s regional supply from its primary continuation. The inferior epigastric artery and deep circumflex iliac artery serve parts of the lower abdominal wall, while the main vessel proceeds toward the lower limb. Studying this arrangement shows how one arterial segment can support adjacent pelvic, abdominal-wall, and limb regions.
Imaging can use the vessel’s course, its passage beneath the inguinal ligament, and its nearby branches as anatomical reference points. These relationships help observers describe vascular structures in the pelvis, lower abdominal wall, and proximal lower limb. The same landmarks support comparison between expected anatomy and findings that may affect blood flow toward the leg.
Its clearly defined course and transition make the external iliac artery relevant to vascular surgery and catheter-based procedures. Knowledge of the pelvic-brim pathway, inguinal-ligament passage, and branch origins helps practitioners identify the structure within regional anatomy. That orientation supports planning or interpreting interventions involving pelvic and lower-limb vessels, without treating the artery as an isolated segment.
Assessment focuses on whether the vessel’s pathway and related anatomy are associated with restricted blood flow to the leg. The external iliac artery therefore serves as a reference when clinicians evaluate pelvic and lower-limb vascular status. Its course, transition, and branches provide anatomical context for interpreting findings rather than representing the entire explanation for impaired circulation.
