There is no much article about it. Kindly share references if any.
Depends on the rat weight, 300 g ? I would say from heart to carotid artery root, 1cm and a half, two centimeters.
Distance from right carotid bifurcatio to aortic valve is 2-2,5 cm for 300-350 g Wistar rats

Thank you mam. I have already seen the article and video. Is it 2-2.5?
