Figure 2. Histology of medial (MAC) and intimal (atherosclerosis) calcifications.

Figure 2.

MAC and the intimal atherosclerotic calcifications are shown. The legends to each medial and intimal calcification pattern have been summarized in table 1. The histologic sections shown in the left and right columns of the medial and intimal calcifications were stained with Movat pentachrome (MP) (A-F and M-R) and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) (G-L and S-X), respectively. The red boxes in the MP sections indicate areas of magnifications shown in the H&E sections and in stage IV (medial) and sheet (intimal) MP sections. IEL – internal elastic lamina (black arrows, black and white arrowheads). Modified and reproduced with permission from doi: 10.1016/j.jcmg.2018.08.039 and doi: 10.1016/j.ejvs.2020.08.037.
