In addition to morphological structures resembling bone, cartilage and bone marrow being found in calcified vascular structures, several studies have indicated that vascular calcification develops along with coronary artery disease. Hence, mechanisms resembling bone remodeling could be relevant to the development of vascular disease. Here, Raggi et al. review some of the mechanisms that could underlie the parallel development of vascular and bone disease.
