Fig. 6

Observed (green) and hypothesized (yellow) pre-injection arterial flow vectors: a before the introduction of a catheter; b with an end-hole catheter (negligible flow obstruction), c with a Surefire catheter with deployed tip (partial flow obstruction at tip), and d with an Endobar catheter with inflated balloon (complete flow obstruction at balloon). Arrow sizes indicate relative volumetric flow rates
