Disease relevance of Endarteritis

• In addition, there were mesoaortitis with obliterative endarteritis of the vasa vasorum and fibrosis of the aortic cusps with separation of the commissures [1].
• Captopril-associated renal failure with endarteritis but not renal-artery stenosis in transplant recipient [2].
• After 48 h the degree of inflammation was greatest with ethanolamine but, despite tissue necrosis and venous thrombosis, neither endarteritis nor arterial thrombosis occurred [3].
• Review of these five cases and 31 additional relapsing cases from the literature indicates that fungal endocarditis or endarteritis without surgical treatment, underlying lymphoreticular neoplasm, and amphotericin B dosage of less than 2 g appear to be associated with relapse of PDH [4].

High impact information on Endarteritis

• Rejection with endarteritis (found in 54% of biopsies) was less responsive to steroid treatment than rejection without endarteritis, as judged by recovery of creatinine in 3 wk (P = 0.03) [5].
• DOCA and salt rapidly induced severe hypertensive vascular lesions, including necrotizing arteriolitis and productive endarteritis [6].
• The cardinal morphological feature of chronic rejection in all allografts is fibroproliferative endarteritis, which is characterized by widening of the subendothelial space due to a cellular fibrosis which may have an onion-skin appearance with a PAS or silver stain [7].
• Proliferative endarteritis was originally described in patients with RA and digital infarcts and has only rarely been noted in patients with visceral infarcts [8].
• Histology showed suppurative aortic endarteritis and a well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma with a large area of suppurative necrosis [9].

Chemical compound and disease context of Endarteritis

• Deposits of IgG, C3 and C4 have also been found in the vascular lesions of endarteritis obliterans (EO) in young men [10].
