An acute suprarenal occlusion of the aorta was produced in anaesthetized dogs by means of a ballon-tipped catheter. The resultant increase in wedge-pressure led to changes in pulmonary perfusion and raised O2 partial pressure in the arterial blood. The additional, simultaneous occlusion of the left subclavian artery by means of a second balloon-tipped catheter aggravated the haemodynamic manifestations of the pressure-load on the heart; but did not cause a proportionate increase in wedge pressure and O2 partial pressure.
