Another suggestion:
Do a PAS followed by a Picro-aniline blue.

Hi Tom,
I would first try a PAS-H&E to get an idea of what you will get.
Then show it to your boss. If s/he still wants it with a
trichrome,
do the PAS first and follow with your choice. The magenta of the
Pararosaniline will be doused by the Aniline blue of Mallory's,
but
maybe not by much in Patay's. With Mallory's in heart muscle,
however, you might still get some magenta glycogen if the blue is
properly 'differentiated'.
I have done Gomori's Aldehyde Fuchsin prior to Mallory's to add
good color to elastic fibers in loose connective tissue.
Good Luck,
