5 Fig. 4 Photomicrograph of bleb demonstrates absence of elastic lamellae near apex; only scattered elastic tissue fragments (arrows) are present (elastochrome; original magnification, 40×). Inset: High-power view of apex of bleb confirms absence of elastic tissue elements.

6 Fig. 5 A, Photomicrograph of bleb demonstrates typical findings of fibrosis, inflammatory cell infiltrate of lymphocytes, macrophages, and proliferation of capillaries (hematoxylin and eosin; original magnification, 40×).

10 Fig. 6 Composite micrograph of plaque from aorta affected by atherosclerotic occlusive disease after hybridization to α 1 (I) procollagen probe (HF-677) and counterstaining with hematoxylin and eosin. Positive signal is noted in myofibroblasts within the plaque. Box in A outlines area shown under higher magnification in B and C. Arrows in B and C indicate corresponding cells in light- and dark-field images (original magnification: A, 200x; B, 400x; C, 400x dark field).

13 Fig. 7 Composite micrograph of aneurysmal aortic tissue after hybridization to α 1 (I) procollagen (HF-677) and counterstaining with hematoxylin and eosin. A, Typical inflammatory infiltrate is seen at junction of medial-adventitial border (arrow). Box outlines the area shown under higher magnification in B and C. B and C, Arrows indicate corresponding cells in light- and dark-field images. Under higher power, positive cells are identified in the media. The positive signal is strongest near the inflammatory infiltrate and decreases with increasing distance from it (original magnification: A, 200×; B, 400×; C, 400×; dark field) Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (96) ) Copyright © 1996 Society for Vascular Surgery and the North American Chapter, International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

16 Fig. 8 A, Photomicrograph of aortic bleb after hybridization to α 1 (I) procollagen probe (HF-677) and counterstaining with hematoxylin and eosin. A lymphocytic infiltrate is seen in the aortic wall adjacent to a bleb (arrow). B, Despite prolonged exposure, no specific binding of the probe to α 1 (I) procollagen mRNA could be identified (original magnification, 400×).
