The Effect of Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma on Bronchial Stump Tissue Granulation after Pneumonectomy: Experimental Study
Figure 3
Eosin/Haematoxylin stain. Cross-section of the bronchial stump (×20) showing minimal granulation tissue formation (arrows) in the non-PRP group (a) and abundant granulation tissue formation in the PRP group (b). Black arrow defines cartilage, while white arrow illustrates a suture (c). Granulation tissue consisted of chronic inflammatory cells (d), including foreign body giant cells (arrows) forming granulomas (×200).
