Hypothesis: Vasa Vasorum and Neovascularization of Human Coronary Arteries: A Possible Role in the Pathophysiology of Atherosclerosis
Abstract
ALTHOUGH the vasa vasorum, the nutrient vessels in the wall of the human aorta, have been studied in some detail,1 there has been disagreement concerning the presence or extent of vasa vasorum in the coronary arteries. As early as 1876 Köster2 suggested that the intimal proliferation and medial hypertrophy of "arteriitis" was related to the presence of vasa vasorum in the media and intima. In 1938 Winternitz et al.3 injected India ink into the wall of cleared coronary arteries and demonstrated the "presence of rich vascular channels surrounding and penetrating sclerotic lesions." They suggested that "here, undoubtedly, was the source . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
