Explain of Cardiovascular Pathology

23.Coronary artery, occlusive atherosclerosis, gross

Cross sections of this anterior descending coronary artery demonstrate marked atherosclerosis with narrowing. This is most pronounced at the left in the more proximal portion of this artery. In general, the worst atherosclerosis is proximal, where arterial blood flow is more turbulent. More focal lesions mean that angioplasty or bypass can be more useful procedures.
