The histology of pedicled autologous pericardium tissue used for right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction. A, Hematoxylin and eosin staining. B, Elastica-Masson staining showing a layer of elastic tissue with a layer of smooth muscle cells beneath the elastic layer. C, Staining for α-smooth muscle actin showing positive cells, confirming the presence of smooth muscle cells. D, Staining for CD31 revealing abundant microvasculature in the pedicled autologous pericardium tissue.
