冠状动脉内的动脉钙化通常表明伴随有动脉粥样硬化斑块，但也可以存在于中层而没有斑块的证据。动脉中层钙化最常见于外周动脉，但也广泛见于冠状动脉。我们描述了2例有明显的冠状动脉中膜和内膜钙化的患者，很少或没有伴随动脉粥样硬化。
Arterial calcification in the coronary arteries frequently indicates concomitant atherosclerotic plaque but can be present in the medial layers with no evidence of plaque. Calcification of the medial layer of arteries is seen most often in the peripheral arteries but also is widely recognized in the coronary arteries. We describe 2 patients who had marked medial and intimal calcification of the coronary arteries with little or no accompanying atherosclerosis.
