Regression of Aortic Aneurysms through Pharmacologic Therapy? (Clinical Implications of Basic Research, N Engl J Med 2006:354;2067 - 2068) . On page 2068, in Figure 1, “Collagen layer” should have been labeled “Fenestrated elastic lamella,” and the collagen bundles should have been shown lying on the elastin fibers and not so closely attached to the smooth-muscle cells. Also, the smooth-muscle cells should have been oriented in a parallel fashion, not in a perpendicular fashion as shown. Smooth-muscle cells should have been shown attached to elastin by fibers containing elastin and other types of fibers.
