The present dataset describes the biomechanical properties of the supra-aortic trunks (brachiocephalic trunk, left common carotid artery, and left subclavian artery) and some of the visceral branches of the abdominal aorta (celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery, and renal arteries). The specimens have been harvested from 27 adult donors during the autopsy procedure. The vessels were submitted to uniaxial biomechanical tensile tests, and values of failure stress, failure tension, and failure strain were obtained. As atherosclerosis could affect any of those vessels producing a significant reduction in their lumen, the data presented here could be of great interest to vascular surgeons, interventional cardiologists, and interventional neuroradiologists, who manipulate these arteries endovascularly. The observations gathered here are experimental evidence of the vessels' endurance against tearing and of their deformability. Therefore this data article could also help the medical industry dedicated to the production of endovascular devices. This dataset is related to the article entitled "Left Common Carotid Artery Biomechanical Properties in Individuals over 80 years: Women Have Stiffer Vessels" published in Annals of Vascular Surgery in August 2020 [1].
