Histological analysis reveals that true coronary medial arterial calcification is rare and mostly confined to terminal CKD, suggesting that most deep coronary calcifications are intimal in origin.

Peter Lanzer (2026) conducted an editorial in Coronary artery calcification (n=112). Histological analysis of coronary arteries was evaluated on Prevalence of medial arterial calcification (MAC). Histological analysis of 112 autopsy cases demonstrated that true coronary medial arterial calcification is rare (3.6% of patients), while deep intimal calcification is present in 35.7%.
