Shunt failure remains a disheartening complication of shunt surgery. The number of adjustable factors in attempting to reduce the rate is small. The clinical presentation and timing of shunt malfunction are well documented. Although the shunt design trials have been negative to date, valves have important effects that have not as yet been translated to

Neurosurgical Review, 2010
Hydrocephalus can be managed successfully with cerebrospinal fluid shunting to extracranial compartments, most commonly the peritoneum. However, current shunt systems are not ideal with high revision rates on long-term follow-up. Draining the cerebrospinal fluid from the cerebral ventricles to the cerebral venous sinuses could mimic the physiological ...

Perhaps one of the most intriguing events in neurosurgical history is the invention and use of the shunt system to treat hydrocephalus, despite the shunt’s high failure rates. The shunt system, classically composed of a proximal catheter, valve, and distal catheter, was developed in the 1950s.

To some extent our greatest problem is the philosophic answer to the question, "who shall be treated, how intensely and to what expense?" The cost of care is almost always greatest in the child who is borderline in selection and least likely to survive.

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1985
The veterinary profession's experience with portosystemic shunts has resulted in continued description and refinement of the clinical entity. Specific and sensitive diagnostic procedures are now available and can be utilized in a clinical setting. Furthermore, portosystemic shunts can be treated successfully owing to the ability to make a quicker ...

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1977
✓ The authors report the cases of 16 adult patients who underwent ventriculolymphatic shunt procedures with apparent good results. The follow-up period is from 2 to 12 years. The anatomy of the terminal portion of the thoracic duct studied in 51 patients undergoing sympathectomy of the lower cervical-upper thoracic ganglionic chain is reported.

AbstractAlthough portacaval shunt has been amply demonstrated as providing effective therapy for the control of bleeding varices, it produces total diversion of portal flow with a high incidence of hepatic failure which, if not fatal, is frequently associated with encephalopathy.

Intracardiac shunts are among the most common cardiac lesions seen in adult patients with congenital heart disease. Shunt lesions comprise much of the de novo congenital heart disease diagnosed in adults and engender a wide range of pathophysiologic consequences with a variety of treatment options.
