Fig. 3From: Development of an effective method utilizing fibrin glue to repair pleural defects in an ex-vivo pig modelHistological evaluation of tissue from lungs repaired using each method. Specimens of the ex-vivo lung models repaired by each method were stained with hematoxylin and eosin for microscopic observation. a Tissue from lungs repaired using Method 1: The fibrin glue does not penetrate the lung parenchyma (indicated by black arrows). b Tissue from lungs repaired using Method 2: Partial penetration of fibrin glue into the lung tissue was observed (asterisks). c Tissue from lungs repaired using Method 3: Penetration of fibrin glue at the deepest area of the lung parenchyma was observedBack to article page
