Abstract: IntroductionShunt disconnection (SD), or migration of the distal end to extra-peritoneal tissues, may lead to shunt malfunction or be diagnosed incidentally. We present a systematic approach for treatment options that is tailored to each patient’s… read more here.

Abstract: Background To assess the association between final polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-covered stent transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) angiographic parameters and free shunt revision survey. Methods Series of two comparison groups were generated with persistence of varices or… read more here.

DOI: 10.3171/2019.3.jns183077
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Although ventricular shunting is an effective therapy for idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH), the effect of shunt valve type on the incidence of revision surgery is not well defined. To address this issue, shunt… read more here.
