    As atherosclerotic plaques develop, vasa vasorum extend through the media and intimal layers into the plaques themselves (Barger et al. 1984). These intraplaque vessels often have incomplete endothelial linings and lack smooth muscle cell support, making them vulnerable to hemorrhage within the plaque, which is associated with advanced disease progression as the plaque further destabilizes (Kolodgie et al. 2003; Virmani et al. 1998). With additional plaque buildup, a state of arterial stenosis and ischemia develops, which is a more advanced stage of disease commonly associated with increased symptoms and complications (Naghavi et al. 2003).

    Citation Excerpt :

    Most intraplaque neovessels arise from the adventitial vasa vasorum. Adventitial vasa vasorum demonstrate complete maturation, whereas newer branches that transverse the medial layer into the intima are more fragile and leaky [31]. These leaky vessels are characterized by defects between endothelial junctions resulting in diffuse perivascular expression of von Willebrand factor (vWF) as a sign of less intact or leaky endothelium [4,5,32].
