Abstract
Ligatured segments of femoral artery were incubated in vivo and examined after 15 days. Microscopic observation of these arterial segments showed medial calcification. Initial deposition of Ca occurs in the internal elastic lamina. Invasion of the tunica media occurs along the deep elastic fibers and in the fibrillar substances.
