  • Title: Vascular injuries in electrical burns--the pathologic basis for mechanism of injury.
    Author: Wang XW, Zoh WH.
    Journal: Burns Incl Therm Inj; 1983 May; 9(5):335-8. PubMed ID: 6871754.
    Abstract:
    These studies present a more complete picture of the pathological changes in injured arteries obtained from patients with electrical injuries affecting the upper extremity. The specific characteristics of vascular injury by electric current proceed from relatively mild to severe in the order of the intima, adventitia and whole-thickness. Vascular injury by electricity is a thermal process extending from the interior to the exterior.
