No direct implications for human care; leaves open autonomic regulation of vasa vasorum in aortic disease.
Do neural stimuli alter blood flow through vasa vasorum in the thoracic aorta in anesthetized dogs?
Vasa vasorum in the thoracic aorta are responsive to neural stimuli, constricting during sympathetic stimulation and dilating in response to baroreceptor stimulation.
Heistad et al. (1979) studied this question.
