Veins canine jugular

Table B6.19 lists the static incremental elastic moduli of the canine jugular vein and human saphenous vein. For the purpose of comparison, the static increment elastic modulus of the canine carotid artery segments are also presented in the table. This comparison is of interest because in some arterial reconstructive surgeries, a vein is used as a substitute for an artery.

In order to compare the effects of 7E3F(ab )2 on arterial versus venous thrombolysis, a canine model was employed in which thrombosis was electrically induced simultaneously in the carotid artery and jugular vein [159], Whilst 7E3F(ab )2 (0.8mg/kg i.v.) prevented reocclusion in the carotid artery after thrombolysis, no effect was seen on rethrombosis in the jugular vein, reflecting the different thrombotic mechanisms in the arterial and venous circulation.
