This is Monckeberg's medial calcific sclerosis, which is the most insignificant form of arteriosclerosis.
Note the purplish blue calcifications in the media; note that the lumen is unaffected by this process.
Thus, there are usually no real clinical consequences.

Atherosclerosis
DEFINITION“Chronic inflammatory disorder of intima of
large arteries characterised by formation of fibrofatty plaques called atheroma, which protrudes into and obstructs the vascular lumen & weakens the underlying media & may be associated with serious complications”.

Risk Factors for Atherosclerosis
![Page 9: BY Dr Ola Omran Pathology Department. objectives 1.Define & classify Arteriosclerosis 2.Emphasize the clinical importance of the arteriosclerosis 3.List.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649c9e5503460f9495e03d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Lesser, or Non quantitated risk factors – Obesity– Physical inactivity– Stress – Postmenopausal estrogen deficiency– High carbohydrate intake– Alcohol– Lipoprotein a – Hardened unsaturated fat intake– Chlamydia pneumoniae
![Page 10: BY Dr Ola Omran Pathology Department. objectives 1.Define & classify Arteriosclerosis 2.Emphasize the clinical importance of the arteriosclerosis 3.List.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649c9e5503460f9495e03d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
PATHOGENESIS
Response to injury hypothesis,
Atherosclerosis is considered to be a chronic inflammatory response of the arterial wall initiated by the injury to the endothelium.
![Page 11: BY Dr Ola Omran Pathology Department. objectives 1.Define & classify Arteriosclerosis 2.Emphasize the clinical importance of the arteriosclerosis 3.List.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649c9e5503460f9495e03d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Main features of the injury hypothesis:1. Chronic endothelial injury
2. Insudation of lipoproteins into the vessel wall mainly LDL with high cholestrol content…….then oxidation of lesional lipoprotein
3. Adhesion of blood monocytes & other leukocytes to the endothelium , & their migration into the intima & their transformation into macrophages & foam cells
4. Adhesion of platelets
5. Release of factors from activated platelets , macrophages or vascular endothelial cells that cause migration of SMCs from media into the intima.
6. Proliferation of SMCs in the intima , elaboration of extracellular
matrix, leading to accumulation of collagen & proteoglycans.7. Enhanced accumulation of lipids within macrophages & SMCs &
extracellularly

Evolution of arterial wall changes
in response to injury hypothesis

Pathogenesis in short:1. intimal injury
2. Inflammation, Necrosis
3. Lipid – Cholesterol accumulation (soft.atheroma)
4. Fibrosis, smooth muscle proliferation (hard.atheroma)
5. Extension of lesion and destruction of vessel
6. Complications - Thrombosis, embolism, aneurism, dissection & rupture.

Morphology of atheroma(GP)
Athermo plaque consists of:• a raised focal lesion, soft , yellow core of
lipids( mainly cholestrol & cholestrol esters), covered by a firm, white fibrous cap.
• 0.3-1.5 cms. In diameter, sometimes coalesce to form larger lesions.
• Involve partial circumference of arterial wall ( (eccentric), patchy & variable along the length of vessel.
• First the patches are focal & sparse then gradually increase in size & become diffuse
![Page 17: BY Dr Ola Omran Pathology Department. objectives 1.Define & classify Arteriosclerosis 2.Emphasize the clinical importance of the arteriosclerosis 3.List.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649c9e5503460f9495e03d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
GP1. Fatty dots• not raised , so do not cause obstruction to the flow• Multiple, yellow , flat spots < than 1mm in diameter • composed of lipid laden foam cells
2. Fatty streaks =coalesce of multiple fatty dots• Elongated, 1 cms longer or more • contain T- lymphocytes & extracellular lipid < than plaques• Appear in aorta in some children younger than 1 year & all
children older than 10years ,
3. Fatty streaks may be precursor of plaque but not all fatty streaks are converted into fibrous plaque or more advanced lesions
![Page 18: BY Dr Ola Omran Pathology Department. objectives 1.Define & classify Arteriosclerosis 2.Emphasize the clinical importance of the arteriosclerosis 3.List.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649c9e5503460f9495e03d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The white arrow denotes the most prominent fatty streak in the photo, but there are other fatty streaks scattered over the aortic surface. Fatty streaks are the earliest lesions seen with atherosclerosis in arteries.
![Page 19: BY Dr Ola Omran Pathology Department. objectives 1.Define & classify Arteriosclerosis 2.Emphasize the clinical importance of the arteriosclerosis 3.List.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649c9e5503460f9495e03d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Common sites:
1.Abdominal aorta compared to thorasic aorta & lesions are more common around the ostia of major branches
2.Other common arteries in descending order after aorta is coronaries, popliteal, internal carotid & cicle of Willis
3.Vessels of the upper extremities are usually spared
4.Mesenteric & renal arteries are also spared but ostias can be involve

COMPONENTS OF ATHEROMATOUS PLAQUE (MP)
1. *Superficial fibrous cap is composed of SMCs & relatively dense collagen
2. *cellular zone containing, SMCs , macrophages, Lymphocytes (T cells)
*Foam cells : are monocytes derived from blood & SMCs can also become foam cells
3. *Deep to the fibrous cap is central necrotic core , containing a disorganized mass of lipids( cholestrol& cholestrol esters) cholestrol clefts, debris from dead cells , foam cells, fibrin
4. *Below & to the sides of cap ( shoulder) is a cellular area cosisting of macrophages, SMCs, T lymphocytes
5. At the periphery area of neovascularization is presentGenerally plaque undergo remodelling ( degeneration ,
synthesis of ECM & organization of thrombus.

![Page 24: BY Dr Ola Omran Pathology Department. objectives 1.Define & classify Arteriosclerosis 2.Emphasize the clinical importance of the arteriosclerosis 3.List.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649c9e5503460f9495e03d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
COMPLICATIONS & clinical significance
A) Advanced lesions of atheromas are vulnerable to following pathological changes:
1. Thrombosis & calcification 2. Emboli formation , cholestrol emboli or
atheroemboli which are discharged into blood stream.
3. Rupture, ulceration, erosions.4. Hemorrhage: due to rupture of fibrin cap or thin
walled capillaries that vascularize the plaque & contained hematoma expand & rupture the plaque
5. Aneurysmal dilatation: Fusiform, dissecting, or berry etc., due to pressure or ischemic atrophy of media with loss of elastic tissue causing weakness & rupture.

This is severe atherosclerosis of the aorta in which the atheromatous plaques have undergone ulceration along with formation of overlying mural thrombus.

A coronary thrombosis is seen microscopically occluding the remaining small lumen of this coronary artery.
Such an acute coronary thrombosis is often the antecedent to acute myocardial infarction.

Prevention
• Three factors need improvement
1. life style, cigarette smoking
2.Reduced consumption of cholestrol & saturated animal fat & control of hypertension
3. Prevention of recurrences in those who have previously suffered from serious ATH related clinical events
