🗑
arteriosclerosis   hyaline thickening or proliferative change of small arteris and arterioles, especially kidneys  
🗑
arteriosclerosis   usually associated with HTN or DM  
🗑
hyaline arteriolosclerosis   hyaline thickening; causes benign nephrosclerosos; is associated with HTN  
🗑

dissecting aneurysm   longitudinal intraluminal tear; characterixtically results in aortic rupture  
🗑
dissecting aneurysm   associated with HTN, cystic medial necrosis; no relation to atherosclerosis  
🗑
A-V fistula   abnormal communication between artery and a vein; can be secondary to trauma; may result in ischemic changes and aneurysm formation from increased venous pressure; may cause high output cardiac failure from hypervolemia  
🗑
venous thrombosis   most often from deep veins of lower extremities; predisposed by venous circulatory stasis; may give rise to embolism; often associated with inflammation  
🗑
