Smooth muscle cell changes of media underlying experimental arterial thrombosis.
The is much evidence that platelet thrombi release many factors which can alter endothelial permeability and may alter other cell membrane permeability. A large thrombus could also interfere with the diffusion of oxygen to the inner media. In either case injury of the medial cells may affect their ability to metabolize lipid.
