Lower limb Doppler revealed thrombosis of both popliteal arteries. Sputum culture revealed presence of Klebsiella Pneumoniae (MDR) and Pseudomonas....
(1). Ca++ = calcium; H/E = hematoxylin-eosin stain; Thr = thrombus. Bone formation (12) comprising trabecula with marrow space is rarely seen in CAD within calcific regions (Figure 1J). When observed, it is usually seen in heavily calcified segments of the arterial wall suggesting that ...
