Zusammenfassung:A technique for the preparation of animals to allow chronic, percutaneous recording of arterial blood pressure is presented. We feel this method is superior to the carotid loop in our hands for the following reasons: (1) no problem with infection, necrosis of skin flaps, or carotid blowout has been encountered; (2) shorter delay (10–13 days compared to more than 20 days) between construction and use; (3) both carotids are prepared, giving one the option to alternate sides for pressure measurements, reducing the risk of occlusion by repeated punctures of one vessel.
