Abstract
|
|
|
|
Although the ventriculo-peritoneal shunt is the treatment of choice when hydrocephalus should be corrected, the ventriculo-atrial shunt still holds strong alternative when the peritonium is precluded due to the several reasons. During the ventriculo-atrial shunt operation, it is not always easy to dissect and find the corresponding venous structures. In this technical note, the author describes a simple method of percutaneous insertion for placement of the atrial end.
