3. Fig. 2
Right gastroepiploic artery. (A) Overview and (B) detail at origin from the gastroduodenal artery, (C) at 1 cm, (D) at 9 cm, and (E) at 18 cm. Note mild intimal hyperplasia (A) with focal moderate hyperplasia (B) at origin of the artery, decreasing intimal hyperplasia from proximal to distal, and muscular character of the media. (Elastin-trichrome stain; original magnifications: A, ×40; B, ×100; C–E, ×320.)

8. Fig. 7
Inferior epigastric artery. (A) Overview and (B) detail at origin from the external iliac artery, (C) at 1 cm, (D) at 8 cm, and (E) at 16 cm. Note severe intimal hyperplasia in the first 1-cm segment, gradually decreasing degree of intimal hyperplasia beyond the first 1-cm segment, and muscular character of the media. (Elastin-trichrome stain; original magnifications: A, ×32; B–E, ×320.)
