TissueDB/Materials/Animal Blood Vessel

Animal blood vessel here refers to an artery harvested from a poultry wing for microsurgical anastomosis training. Vessel calibre is selected to suit the target artery.^[1]^[2]

Tissues

Tissue	Simulator	Notes
Distal anterior cerebral artery (pericallosal branches)	Grapefruit dACA Bypass Simulator	Chicken wing brachial artery, with adventitia removed at the vessel ends.^[1]
Superficial temporal artery (STA, donor)	STA-MCA Bypass Trainer (Akdag)	Turkey brachial artery as the donor STA proxy; a 5–6 cm segment, about 1.0–1.5 mm in calibre, selected for its similarity in diameter to the target vessel.^[2]
Middle cerebral artery (MCA, M4 recipient)	STA-MCA Bypass Trainer (Akdag)	Chicken brachial artery as the recipient MCA-M4 proxy, about 1 mm in calibre.^[2]
