Interaction between mural thrombi and the underlying artery wall.
This communication describes the morphological changes which result from the induction of experimental thrombi in the artery wall of the rabbit and pig. The role of the platelet as the initiator of neo-intimal proliferation is stressed and the genesis of the cells contributing to such proliferation discussed.
