Pulmonary vascular remodeling.
<p>At 8 weeks, lungs were harvested, processed, and stained with Masson’s trichrome to examine pulmonary vascular remodeling. Representative images from A) sham and B-D) embolization models with similar patterns of remodeling, including luminal encroachment and hypertrophic intimal and medial remodeling, were observed for the D-Embo (B, D) and P+D-Embo pigs (C). In selected images (D), microspheres are present in the vessel lumen. There is also extensive perivascular collagen deposition. The distal pulmonary arteries were examined in the periphery of the lung in vessels that were not occluded by beads in sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Representative vessels from E) sham, F) D-Embo, and G) P+D-Embo animals are shown. H) Vessel media thickness as an indicator of pulmonary artery remodeling was assessed. P+D-Embo, proximal and distal embolization group; D-Embo, distal embolization group. Scale bars for A, B, C, and D are 60 μm, 100 μm, 60 μm, and 60 μm, respectively. *p<0.05 vs. D-Embo, **p<0.01 vs. sham by ANOVA.</p
