A study is described in which the effects of hemodynamics on arterial geometry are investigatedin vitro. A novel perfusion apparatus is employed to deliver pulsatile flow through excised canine carotid arteries under carefully controlled conditions. Data of perfused vessel diameter and arterial wall thickness are derived from the radial displacement of the pulsating vessel as measured using a scanning laser micrometer whose accuracy is determined to be 0.0125 mm (0.0005 in). The results of 30 perfusion experiments suggest that the hemodynamic variables of transmural pressure, pulse pressure and flow rate influence vessel size and radial strain. The physiologic implications of these findings are discussed.
