Angiogenesis in arteries: review.
The inner parts of the walls of large blood vessels do not normally contain intrinsic vasculature. In pathologic conditions such as arteriosclerosis or thrombosis, angiogenesis occurs, and may have significant clinical consequences. This review attempts to relate the little that is known about the factors specific to vascular walls which regulate angiogenesis to more general knowledge of the phenomenon.
