Representative histological sections of porcine lungs obtained after transbronchial cryoablation. Representative histological sections of porcine lungs obtained after transbronchial cryoablation. A composite histological photograph shows a transverse section through the axis of a bronchus in which a cryoprobe was inserted (A) (bar=2 mm). High power fields show alveoli and pleura in the destruction zone (B) and the bronchus and an accompanying pulmonary artery (C) after transbronchial cryoablation (bar=100 µm).
