✓ A mathematical analysis of the minimum occlusion force necessary to occlude small vessels based on the parametric influence of blood pressure, vessel diameter, clamp width, and vessel shape after clamping was performed. The results were confirmed by in vivo experimentation with 60 rat aortas (of 1.8 to 2.4 mm caliber) using a variable-force clamp gauge developed in our laboratory. Experimental and theoretical results differed by only 3 gm. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the initial changes in the endothelium occurred in smaller radii of curvature. Increased pressure resulted in gross morphological changes across the vessel. The minimum occlusion force (as determined by the variable-force clamp gauge) produced only minimal endothelial damage.
