Catheterization of the cerebral arterial circle. (A): Cerebral arterial circle before catheterization. (B): The anterior and posterior communicating arteries were clipped. The anterior cerebral arteries were proximally sectioned. (C): Catheters were inserted and ligated in the corresponding arteries. (D): The cerebral arterial circle after arteries were flushed with isotonic saline and injected with colored gelatin solutions. We used blue for injection of the anterior, red for the middle, and green for the posterior cerebral arteries. ACA anterior cerebral artery, ACommA anterior communicating artery, BA basilar artery, ICA internal carotid artery, MCA middle cerebral artery, PCA posterior cerebral artery, PCommA posterior communicating artery.
