Explain of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis

26.Monckeberg's medial calcific arteriosclerosis, microscopic

This is Monckeberg's medical calcific sclerosis, which is the most insignificant form of arteriosclerosis (both atherosclerosis and arteriolosclerosis are definitely significant). Note the purplish blue calcifications in the media; note that the lumen is unaffected by this process. Thus, there are no real clinical consequences. Remember this process when calcified muscular arteries show up on a radiograph of the pelvic region in an older person.
