DOI: 10.1007/s00381-020-04596-5
Abstract: Purpose Myelomeningocele (MMC) is the most frequent form of spina bifida. Moreover, 90% of patients with MMC have hydrocephalus and require shunt placement. However, shunt failure management in such patients typically involves several shunt revisions,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-73167-4
Abstract: While ventricular shunts are the main treatment for adult hydrocephalus, shunt malfunction remains a common problem that can be challenging to diagnose. Computer vision-derived algorithms present a potential solution. We designed a feasibility study to… read more here.

Lumboperitoneal and Ventriculoperitoneal Shunting for Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Demonstrate Comparable Failure and Complication Rates.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Neurosurgery"
DOI: 10.1093/neuros/nyz080
Abstract: BACKGROUND Idiopathic intracranial hypertension results in increased intracranial pressure leading to headache and visual loss. This disease frequently requires surgical intervention through lumboperitoneal (LP) or ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunting. OBJECTIVE To compare postoperative outcomes between LP… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jth.14347
Abstract: Essentials Uncertainty remains about antiplatelets for vascular access patency in hemodialysis patients. 95 971 people under hemodialysis were followed in a claims database in Taiwan. Aspirin reduced vascular access failure rate and did not increase… read more here.

DOI: 10.1227/neu.0000000000002809_923
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: The highest shunt failure rates occur in patients with hydrocephalus from intraventricular hemorrhage of prematurity (Premie-IVH). Tuli et al (1999) described a 40-week gestational age threshold that significantly differentiated shunt failure rates in a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1542/peds.142.1_meetingabstract.125
Abstract: Objective: We compared cost-effectiveness of cranial computed tomography (CT), fast sequence magnetic resonance imaging (fsMRI), and ultra sonographic measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter, for suspected acute shunt failure, from a healthcare organizational perspective. Methods:… read more here.

DOI: 10.3171/2023.1.focus22637
Abstract: OBJECTIVE The management of excess CSF in patients with hydrocephalus typically requires using a shunt to divert CSF. Unfortunately, there is a high rate of shunt failure despite improvements in device components and insertion techniques.… read more here.

DOI: 10.3171/2024.12.jns242338
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Despite being one of the most frequently performed neurosurgical procedures, there is lack of consensus on the factors that predict failure after ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placement. The aim of this study was to contribute… read more here.
