Fig. 1

Representative images of individual holes in explanted ventricular catheters (VCs) showing each obstruction category. The first row shows brightfield images. The second row shows CyQuant fluorescent (green) labeling of nuclei. The third row shows volume rendering of the immunofluorescent labeling. A thin layer of cells is adherent to the VC surface in the G column. Two sets of images, under the ‘O’ hole category demonstrate two types of occluded holes. The first O column shows tissue filling the lumen of the VC at the base of the hole. The second O column shows tissue protruding out of the hole. (asterisk) The green area in the N column is due to an artefact in the trough of the VC lumen. Scale bar top left: 1000um
