Claims34
A vascular model comprising a cadaver and an external drive unit in fluid communication with a vascular system of the cadaver and with a perfusate reservoir, wherein the vascular system includes an inlet through which perfusate enters an aorta and an outlet through which perfusate exits a primary or higher order branch of an aorto-iliac artery, and wherein the external drive unit is configured to generate a continuous flow of perfusate from the inlet to the outlet.

A vascular model comprising a cadaver and an external drive unit in fluid communication with a vascular system of the cadaver and with a perfusate reservoir, wherein the vascular system includes an inlet through which perfusate enters a vena cava, or a primary or higher order tributary thereof, and an outlet through which perfusate exits the vena cava, and wherein the external drive unit is configured to generate a continuous flow of perfusate from the inlet to the outlet, optionally wherein the vena cava is a superior vena cava, an inferior vena cava, or both.

A vascular model comprising a cadaver and an external drive unit in fluid communication with a vascular system of the cadaver and with a perfusate reservoir, wherein the vascular system includes a first inlet through which perfusate enters an aorta and a first outlet through which perfusate exits a primary or higher order branch of an aorto-iliac artery, and a second inlet through which perfusate enters a vena cava, or a primary or higher order tributary thereof, and a second outlet through which perfusate exits the vena cava, and wherein the external drive unit is configured to generate a continuous flow of perfusate from the first inlet to the first outlet and from the second inlet to the second outlet.
