To quote another answer to a different question:

"The pulmonary artery is the one which carries blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. It is the only artery in the body that carries deoxygenated blood. The blood is carried at a pressure, usually less than 30mmHg. So, if the pulmonary artery was to be cut and bleed, the person would die when blood volume fell below the minimum necessary."

Seeing how this is probably the artery your talking about, it would take more time to bleed out, as you will be bleeding at a slower rate. However, if you are somehow incapacitated, it can prove just as deadly.
