Abstract: Abstract Shunt series (SS) X-rays are often performed as additional routine initial investigations for suspected ventriculo-peritoneal shunt dysfunction, despite low diagnostic utility and radiological implications. We reviewed such referrals at our neurosurgical unit and found… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/mpg.0000000000001931
Abstract: Purpose: Few established criteria exist to prompt angiographic evaluation and intervention for surgically created splenorenal shunts (SRS). Clinical and Doppler ultrasound (DUS) imaging predictors of shunt dysfunction were evaluated in this retrospective study. Materials and… read more here.
