Histological section of a typical thermally sealed artery stained with MTC: The sealing site (S, upper right) shows the bright red colour of denatured collagen. The invagination of the media (I) and a thrombus (TH) can be seen. The transition zone (TZ) between denatured and unaffected arterial structures is characterised by a broad transmural zone of intra- and extracellular vacuolisation
