Intimal neovascularization in human coronary atherosclerosis: its origin and pathophysiological significance
M Kumamoto, Y Nakashima, K Sueishi - Human pathology, 1995 - Elsevier
To investigate the histopathological characteristics of the newly formed vessels in the
atherosclerotic intima of human coronary arteries, we conducted postmortem angiography in
31 cases, including 11 with myocardial infarction. Vessels were examined three-
dimensionally under the stereoscope. In addition, we evaluated 25 anterior descending
coronary arteries unrelated to the occurrence of myocardial infarction by light microscopy
using 3-mm stepwise sections and 5-μm serial sections. Histological alterations were …
