Abstract

Hemodynamic factors acting as modelator agents in the outflow region of great vessels and aortic arches have been studied by many authors. In our study, we have tried to analyse the influence which a modification of some of these factors, as it is an increased blood volume, could cause on truncus and aortic arches, by means of the perfusion of blood from chick embryos of 12-15 days of incubation to receptor embryos between stages 22-29 of HH. We have obtained a malformation percentage smaller than expected, on the basis of bibliographic data, so we now believe that hemodynamic factors, by themselves, don't play a role in the definitive morphogenesis and septation of great vessels and its main branches as important as believed until present time.
