Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Although advanced lesions can grow sufficiently large to block blood flow, the most important clinical complication is an acute occlusion due to the formation of a thrombus or blood clot, resulting in myocardial infarction or stroke.
Detailed explanation-2: -The femoral arteries were least affected by atherosclerosis, foam cell lesions were rare, and the development of advanced atherosclerosis was strongly age-dependent and dominated by fibrous plaques. Plaques were most common in the left anterior descending coronary artery and the carotid bifurcation.
