Vasa vasorum of veins in dog and man.
TLDR
The vasa nutritia (of veins) are extraordinarily more numerous than is ordinarily represented, and supply quite small veins, whose wall one thinks would surely be without vessels.Abstract:
From the Toronto Western Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and the Department of Anatomy, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. Supported in part by a grant from the Ontario Heart Foundation. In 1875, K8ster remarked that &dquo;the vasa nutritia (of veins) are extraordinarily more numerous than is ordinarily represented, and supply quite small veins, whose wall one thinks would surely be without vessels.&dquo;’ Following these observations, the blood supply of the vein wall received little attention, although references to the vasa vasorum of veins can be found in the earlier literature.’-’ On the other hand, the vasa vasorum of arteries have received considerable attention, and there have been numer-read more

Intracranial vasa vasorum: insights and implications for imaging.

TL;DR: Advanced contrast material-enhanced imaging techniques are capable of helping detect and even grade intracranial vasa vasorum, and this may provide new insights into the ability to diagnose and assess the risk of intrac cranial vascular lesions such as atherosclerosis, aneurysms, dissections, and vasculitis.

Do human intracranial arteries lack vasa vasorum? A comparative immunohistochemical study of intracranial and systemic arteries
TL;DR: Whether the human intracranial arteries have vasa vasorum, whether their existence is related to the thickness of tunica media as is in systemic vessels, and whether they are acquired in reaction to pathological conditions, such as atherosclerosis and arterial occlusion is investigated.

Endogenous factors involved in regulation of tone of arterial vasa vasorum: implications for conduit vessel physiology.
TL;DR: This review focuses on the mechanisms that regulate tone in the vasa vasorum of large arteries and the functional implications of changes in reactivity of vasa Vasorum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and function of vasa vasorum.
TL;DR: In atherosclerotic arteries, vasa vasorum proliferate into the intima-media, where they provide nutrition to the thickened artery, however, these neovascular channels are thin-walled and may contribute to intraplaque hemorrhage, plaque disruption, and mural thrombosis.

Hypothesis: a potential role for the vasa vasorum in the maintenance of vein graft patency.
TL;DR: Preservation of the vasa vasorum of saphenous veins used as bypass conduits may play an important role in the maintenance of graft patency.

TL;DR: To endeavour to ascertain the elasticity of arteries, I made comparative experiments on the aorta and pulmonary artery, and found that the pulmonary artery appears to have rather more elasticity than the aorts, not impossible that this difference might arise from theAorta having lost some of its elasticity by.
