title: [Changes in the structure of the wall of the human thoracic duct in relation to atherosclerosis and age].
abstract: Changes in the proportion of muscular- and connective tissue in the media of the thoracic duct were observed at atherosclerotic persons. It was established that the quotient of the muscular and connective tissue with the development of the atherosclerotic process increases. The latter causes thichkening of the connective tissue layer in the wall of the thoracic duct. These structural changes have only indirect connection with age, since severe atherosclerosis in aged persons occure more often.
