Calcification has been examined in 250 samples of atherosclerotic lesions (types II to VI) of human carotid arteries using von Kossa and haematoxylin staining. Early calcification described as 'stippling' was first noted in stage III specimens, with intermediate and solid calcifications becoming inc
