Fig. 3 A, Low-power photomicrograph shows full-thickness aortic wall with cellular intimal proliferation. Severe medial degeneration is present, with marked loss of elastic fibers and increased acid mucopolysaccharides. (VVG stain; original magnification, 50×). B, Electron micrograph of aortic media shows almost total loss of elastic fibers with few fragments remaining (EF). Large cell in center is myofibroblast (MF). Other cells are modified smooth muscle cells (SM) intermixed with collagen (C). Original magnification, 4000×.
