Fig. 3From: Anatomic, histopathologic, and echocardiographic features in a dog with an atypical pulmonary valve stenosis with a fibrous band of tissue and a patent ductus arteriosusEchocardiographic, anatomic, and histopathologic images of the ventricular wall. The right ventricular (blank arrow) and septal (white arrow) wall is thicker than the left ventricular wall (arrow head) on a right parasternal echocardiographic short axis image (a) and a transverse gross image showing irreversible septal flattening (b). c Histopathologic findings for the right ventricle stained with Masson’s trichrome protocols. Microscopic views at 200× magnification show fibrosis that is stained blue because of the collagenous tissues. RV, right ventricle; LV, left ventricleBack to article page
