Fig 3 Staining of aneurysmal wall shows marked stenosis caused by mural thrombi. Smooth muscle layer is partially disrupted and replaced with dense fibrous tissue. Destruction of elastic lamina is apparent. Increasing hyalinized collagen fibers cause thickening of tunica interna. (Elastica–van Gieson stain; original magnification ×20.)
