1 Chronic Histological Transmurality of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Ablation 
Paolo Vanelli, MD, Roberta Rossi, MD, Guido Gelpi, MD, Giovanni Cagnoni, MD, Monica Contino, MD, Enrica Bosisio, MD, Gianluca Vago, MD, Carlo Antona, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 93, Issue 6, Pages (June 2012) DOI: /j.athoracsur Copyright © 2012 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Left atrial ablation and quadrant wall sample collection. (Ao = Aorta; CS = coronary sinus; IVC = inferior vena cava; LIPV = left inferior pulmonary vein; LSPV = left superior pulmonary vein; Pa = pulmonary artery; RIPV = right inferior pulmonary vein; RSPV = right superior pulmonary vein; SVC = superior vena cava.)

3 Fig 2 Macroscopic findings of left atrial ablation. (CS = coronary sinus; EnC = endocardium; EpC = epicardium.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2012 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

4 Fig 3 Histologic study of a transmural cross-section collected from the atrial wall. Damage to cardiomyocytes is evident over full thickness of the transmural sample (hematoxylin and eosin, ×40 [A]; Masson trichrome, ×40 [B]).
