Using the electron microscope, the authors examined the structure of the wall in a case of arteriomegaly of the inferior mesenteric artery in man. Structural changes concerned the elastic material showing signs of degeneration. Based on a comparison with literary findings, the authors conclude that tortuosity of the arteries, aneurysms and arteriomegaly are caused by congenital, age-dependent and pathological changes in the elastic material in the vessel wall. There exist basic structural differences in the arterial wall in arteriomegaly and in atherosclerosis.
作者使用电子显微镜检查了一名肠系膜下动脉扩张症患者血管壁的结构。结构变化涉及弹性材料出现变性迹象。基于与文献研究结果的比较，作者得出结论，动脉迂曲、动脉瘤和动脉扩张是由血管壁弹性材料的先天性、年龄依赖性和病理性变化引起的。动脉扩张症和动脉粥样硬化的动脉壁存在基本结构差异。
