The distal thoracic aorta was partially occluded in 51 mongrel dogs. In some dogs single strands of size 00 Dacron, Teflon, and black silk were used, and in others the vessel was constricted by banding with a 2-cm long aluminum cylinder. In all instances the resultant diameter was 50% of the original diameter in systole. This study was performed as a sequel to similar experimentation reported by the authors in 1970 in which stainless steel mesh cylinders and single stainless steel strands were used. Because of unpromising results of earlier investigators--destructive changes of the vessel wall with fatal hemorrhage--we were surprised that all 86 dogs in our first study, and all 51 dogs in the current study, were alive and well at controlled intervals, some for up to 2 years.
