Progress in the clinical management of cerebrovascular disease has stemmed from increasing appreciation of the significance of deranged function in the arteries of the head and neck.' 3 There is a growing realization that the cerebral arteries may have a different physiological and morp...

He thought the abnormal constituents of the ground substance came from the blood, and, since the ...

Experimental Arteriosclerosis

Arteriosclerotic lesions have been produced in monkeys (Macaca nemestrina) by selective removal of the vascular endothelium with an intra-arterial balloon catheter. Immediately after de-endothelialization a platelet layer covers the denuded area. This thrombus is gradually removed and by 7 days the vessel appears to be largely reendothelialized. Beginning at day 4, smooth muscle cells undergo m...
