Pre/post cardiac ablation CSF flow speed and ventricular area measurements (Stage 46). a Median compartmental CSF flow speed of the Lat-V, 3rd ventricle, midbrain ventricle, anterior 4th and posterior 4th ventricle presented with before-after graphs. b Average compartmental cross-sectional area of the Lat-V, 3rd ventricle, midbrain ventricle, anterior 4th and posterior 4th ventricle presented with before-after graphs. c Median compartmental flow speed along the aqueducts between the 3rd and midbrain ventricles, and the 4th and midbrain ventricles shown with before-after graphs. Red area outlines the cross section of where the particle velocimetry is applied, yellow-dotted arrow indicates the direction of flow. Lat-v: lateral ventricle, III: 3rd ventricle, M: midbrain ventricle, IV: 4th ventricle
