Impaired venous reactivity has potential to contribute to clinically significant pathologies such as arteriovenous fistula (AVF) maturation failure. Vascular segments commonly used in murine preclinical models of AVF include the carotid artery and external jugular vein. Detailed descriptions of isometric procedures to evaluate function of murine external jugular vein ex vivo have not been previously published.
