Increased extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition in human saphenous veins with calcification. The amount of ECM deposition was evaluated using the Movat pentachrome stain. The yellow areas (black arrow) represent collagen in non-calcified vein (A) and calcified vein (B). (C) Quantitation of collagen. The calcified veins had a significantly higher amount of ECM deposition compared to non-calcified veins (p = 0.0182, n = 10–12).
