Aneurysmal remodeling in the circle of Willis after carotid occlusion in an experimental model.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Carotid occlusions are associated with de novo intracranial aneurysm formation in clinical case reports, but this phenomenon is not widely studied. We performed bilateral carotid ligation (n=9) in rabbits to simulate carotid occlusion, and sham surgery (n=3) for control. Upon euthanasia (n=3 at 5 days, n=6 at 6 months post ligation, and n=3 at 5 days after sham operation), vascular corrosion casts of the circle of Willis (CoW) were created. Using scanning electron microscopy, we quantified gross morphologic, macroscopic, and microscopic changes on the endocasts and compared findings with histologic data. At 5 days, CoW arteries of ligated animals increased caliber. The posterior communicating artery (PCom) increased length and tortuosity, and the ophthalmic artery (OA) origin presented preaneurysmal bulges. At 6 months, calibers were unchanged from 5 days, PComs further increased tortuosity while presenting segmental dilations, and the OA origin and basilar terminus presented preaneurysmal bulges. This exploratory study provides evidence that flow increase after carotid occlusion produces both compensatory arterial augmentation and pathologic remodeling such as tortuosity and saccular/fusiform aneurysm. Our findings may have considerable clinical implications, as these lesser-known consequences should be considered when managing patients with carotid artery disease or choosing carotid ligation as a therapeutic option.
