Abstract
The burst pressure was measured on 40 freshly excised, unstretched carotid arteries derived from dogs ranging in weight from 20-25 kg. Each carotid artery specimen was tied to the nozzle of a high-pressure nitrogen tank and regulator. The pressure was slowly increased until the artery burst. The burst pressure ranged from 2400 to 6500 mmHg, a value well above typical mammalian systolic pressure.Entities:
