TissueDB/Materials/Chicken Wing Brachial Artery
Chicken Wing Brachial Artery is the brachial artery dissected from a raw chicken wing, used as a low-cost vessel substitute in microsurgical vascular anastomosis training. In the Cikla et al. 2020 Grapefruit dACA Bypass Simulator it simulates the distal anterior cerebral artery for side-to-side bypass practice. Handling follows the Hino 2003 chicken wing convention (Ref 9 of Cikla 2020).
Tissues
| Tissue | Visual | Tactile | Simulator | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cerebral artery | Yes | Yes | Grapefruit dACA Bypass Simulator | Pericallosal branches of the distal ACA; one chicken wing yields two 5–6 cm segments matched in calibre. Adventitia removed approximately 1 mm each end; ends cannulated over 2.5 cm angiocatheters and secured with 3-0 nylon ligatures; anastomosis with 10-0 nylon. |
