Abstract

Arteria magna has been described pathologically in the literature as a peculiar and unique form of atherosclerosis. The authors offer an alternative hypothesis, based on results of angiographic studies with pathologic correlation in 18 patients with arteria magna. The findings indicate that this vascular entity might be more accurately described as a loss of the medial elastica with subsequent vessel enlargement both in length and diameter.
