[The pathomorphological variants of changes in the aortic and arterial intimae: their terminology and nature]
Abstract:
Results of the complex study of extra- and intracranial arteries, arteries of lower limbs and aorta at various levels are presented. Autopsy material was obtained from young (aged below 44) patients who died of ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular pathology, circulatory disorders of lower extremities. Attempt was made to summarize data about various lesions of inner arterial membrane: circular and focal musculo-elastic hyperplasia of hyalinized plaques, plaques poor on lipids, protein deposits on intima. Unification, different arterial lesions by the term "atherosclerotic plaque" prevents from detection of subtle morphogenetic mechanisms, metabolic and immunomorphological peculiarities of arterial wall.
