Reduction of shunt obstructions by using a peel-away sheath technique? A multicenter prospective randomized trial.
Beteiligte Einrichtungen
Abstract
Shunt obstructions may partly be caused by brain debris, which intrude into the ventricular catheter during ventricle puncture. Avoiding contact between the catheter and brain tissue, by using a peel-away sheath, should reduce the number of shunt failures caused by obstruction. To test this hypothesis, we conducted a randomized, prospective multicenter study.
