Aortic amyloid deposits were found in 53% of adult subjects (mean age 47.5 years). They appeared to be localized mainly in the mediaintimal border zone and the internal third of the aortic media, and were not usually related to atherosclerotic lesions. The thoracic aorta was more extensively and frequently involved than the abdominal. It was concluded that aortic amyloidosis: 1. is progressive in its extent and distribution 2. does not seem to be related to atherosclerosis 3. should not be considered to be a form of senile amyloidosis, but rather a peculiar microfocal amyloidosis of the aorta.
在53%的成年受试者（平均年龄47.5岁）中发现了主动脉淀粉样沉积。它们似乎主要位于中膜内膜边界区和主动脉中膜的内三分之一处，通常与动脉粥样硬化病变无关。胸主动脉比腹主动脉受累更广泛、更频繁。得出的结论是，主动脉淀粉样变性：1. 在范围和分布上呈进行性；2. 似乎与动脉粥样硬化无关；3. 不应被视为老年性淀粉样变性的一种形式，而应被视为一种特殊的主动脉微灶性淀粉样变性。
