Abstract

An accurate model of the pressure-flow relationship of a stenosis is necessary for the correct interpretation of haemodynamic measurements. Modelled femoral artery stenoses were tested in vitro and the pressure drop: flow ratio (resistance) was most accurately represented by a fixed component (Rf) combined with a variable component (Rv) that increased linearly with flow (Q) such that Rv = SvQ. For stenoses of 68–94 per cent area, Rfincreased from 3Β·2 to 77Β·7 milliperipheral resistance units (mPRU), while Sv increased from 0Β·009 to 0Β·578 mPRU mlβˆ’1 min and Rv was dominant for physiological flow rates. It was concluded that the approximation of a significant stenosis to a fixed resistance is incorrect.

## Abstract A model for studying arterial crush‐avulsion injuries in the rat is described. The model uses a standardized crush of ∼0.3 joules and a standardized avulsion. The crush is accomplished by gravity acceleration of a 400 g weight over a distance of 7.5 cm. The weight impacts an anvil over
