Impacts of femoral artery and vein excision versus femoral artery excision on the hindlimb ischemic model in CD-1 mice

We conclude that FAV and FA excision in CD-1 mice generate a comparable degree of hindlimb ischemia, suggesting that, as expected, FAV is no more severe than FA. These findings may provide important information for researchers when selecting ligation methods for their hindlimb models.
