Pathology of the sealed pulmonary artery (PA) branches at 30 days. (A) Hematoxylin and eosin stained section (magnification 4×) of a PA branch at low power shows intimal obliterative fibrosis and neovascularization. (B) Hematoxylin and eosin stained section (magnification 20×) of a PA branch at high power shows mild thermal changes in the media and in the adventitia.
