A, Preserved structure of a nerve within the ablated tissue. B, Preserved structure of arterioles and venules within the ablated tissue. C, Lymph node in close proximity to ablated tissue with homogeneous fibrosis. D and E, Preserved structure of the esophagus in close proximity to the ablated superior vena cava.
