Abstract:
Little information is available regarding coronary artery morphology after endarterectomy. In this report, we describe coronary artery morphology seen at necropsy 10 years after coronary artery endarterectomy and compare it with the morphology of the original endarterectomy specimen. Surprisingly, in some areas, all of the internal elastic membrane and most of the media were observed in the "endarterectomy" specimen.
