Diagram of an ex vivo perfusion circuit. The setup consists of an extravascular bath containing the excised artery. The bath is supplied buffer by an upper reservoir via tubing, into which flow is recirculated via a peristaltic pump. The upper reservoir height, ΔH, can be adjusted to alter flow rate and transmural pressure. Figure adapted from Lovich et al. 1995.33
