Dept. of Biomedical Engineering, Purdue University, W. Lafeyette, IN 47907-1206 USA.

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.

D002339	Carotid Arteries	Either of the two principal arteries on both sides of the neck that supply blood to the head and neck; each divides into two branches, the internal carotid artery and the external carotid artery.	Arteries, Carotid,Artery, Carotid,Carotid Artery
D004285	Dogs	The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, comprising about 400 breeds, of the carnivore family CANIDAE. They are worldwide in distribution and live in association with people. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1065)	Canis familiaris,Dog
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001705	Bioprosthesis	Prosthesis, usually heart valve, composed of biological material and whose durability depends upon the stability of the material after pretreatment, rather than regeneration by host cell ingrowth. Durability is achieved 1, mechanically by the interposition of a cloth, usually polytetrafluoroethylene, between the host and the graft, and 2, chemically by stabilization of the tissue by intermolecular linking, usually with glutaraldehyde, after removal of antigenic components, or the use of reconstituted and restructured biopolymers.
