Fig 2 Burst pressures obtained via the different measuring techniques. Data are mean ± SD of six experiments. Keys: *P < .001 vs no latex lining; †P > .05 vs 0.2 mL/min; ‡P < .05 vs 0.2 mL/min; §P > .05 vs 50 mL/min.

Fig 3 Subjecting the graft with an interconnected porous structure to intraluminal pressure of 300 mm Hg leads to “sweating” of water through the wall. Journal of Vascular Surgery 2006 44, 846-852DOI: (10.1016/j.jvs.2006.07.023) Copyright © 2006 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions
Fig 4 The aneurysmal point is a more accurate term than burst pressure, defined as the point at which further infusion at the same rate does not result in any increase in pressure (in this case 347 mm Hg).
