Biomechanics data of human supra-aortic trunks and abdominal visceral arteries harvested during autopsy.

ABSTRACT: The present dataset describes the biomechanical properties of the supra-aortic trunks (brachiocephalic trunk, left common carotid artery, and left subclavian artery) and some of the visceral branches of the abdominal aorta (celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery, and renal arteries). The specimens have been harvested from 27 adult donors during the autopsy procedure. The vessels were submitted to uniaxial biomechanical tensile tests, and values of failure stress, failure tension, and failure strain were obtained. As atherosclerosis could affect any of those vessels producing a significant reduction in their lumen, the data presented here could be of great interest to vascular surgeons, interventional cardiologists, and interventional neuroradiologists, who manipulate these arteries endov
