What is Ventriculoatrial shunt?
Ventriculoatrial shunt (VAS) placement enables cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to flow from the cerebral ventricular system to the atrium of the heart. This procedure is indicated for hydrocephalus, which is among the most common conditions encountered in neurosurgical practice.
What is a VP shunt made of?
A ventriculoperitoneal shunt drains excess brain fluid, reducing brain pressure to a safe level. Ventriculoperitoneal shunts consist of a valve and two tubes, called catheters, which drain the fluid. One catheter drains fluid from the brain out of a small hole the doctor makes in the skull.
Why would you need a VP shunt?
A VP shunt is used to drain extra cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from your brain. CSF is the fluid that surrounds your brain and spinal cord. It’s made in the ventricles (hollow spaces) inside your brain. CSF protects your brain and spinal cord by acting as a cushion.
What is a Syringopleural shunt?
