Wall Thromus Atheromas Develop Arteries Reduce Lumen Diameter

Original atheromas develop in arteries and reduce lumen diameter (stenosis)
increased pressure damages arterial wall
repairs with fibrous tissue reduces wall elasticity
lesions forms called plaques
plaque ruptures triggering blood clot forming thromus
dislodged thromus is embolus that can cause blockage
