Denudation of the Artery

Denudation of arteries is the process of gradual destruction of the inner lining of blood vessels: the muscle layer and endothelium under the influence of pathological processes.

The human vascular system consists of more than 1.2 million small and large vessels providing arterial and venous blood supply. All vessels have a single-layer or multilayer squamous cellular endothelium that lines them from the inside and prevents pathogens from entering the blood. Violations of the integrity of the endothelial barrier lead to the development of inflammatory
