schematic and photographs of the in vitro circulatory flow loop illustrating the (A) experimental setup, (B) the flow loop setup with the instrumentation that was used to measure flow rate and pressure at various cerebrovascular outlets, and (C) location of nylon spherical clots used to mimic a stroke condition. Here, LSA and RSA are the left and right subclavian arteries, LECA and RECA are the left and right external carotid arteries, LMCA and RMCA are the left and right middle cerebral arteries, and LAA and RAA are the left and right anterior arteries, respectively.
