5. Fig. 4
A, Transverse section of banded artery shows absence of intimal hyperplasia. Lumen (L) is at top and space occupied by band (B) at bottom. Note fibrous reaction (open arrow) without significant inflammation and patent vasa vasora (solid arrow). (Hematoxylin and eosin stain; original magnification × 32.) B, Higher magnification of A. Note scattered red blood cells in lumen (L), absence of intimal hyperplasia, and internal elastic lamina immediately adjacent to lumen. (Hematoxylin and eosin stain; original magnification × 160.)

6. Fig. 5
A, Banded segment of artery shows focal intimal hyperplasia (arrow). A segment of fibrous capsule surrounding the band is present in upper right. (Hematoxylin and eosin stain; original magnification × 50.) B, Higher magnification of A shows thickened intima composed of spindle cells. The internal elastic lamina is intact, separating intima from media. (Hematoxylin and eosin stain; original magnification × 125.) C, Nonbanded segment of control shows focal intimal hyperplasia (arrow). (Hematoxylin and eosin stain; original magnification × 50.) D, Higher magnification of C shows thickened intima and internal elastic lamina separating intima and media. (Hematoxylin and eosin stain; original magnification × 125.)
