Hydrogel-coated ventricular catheters for high-risk patients receiving ventricular peritoneum shunt
Shunt infection is a morbid complication of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting. The catheters with a hydrophilic surface may impede bacterial adherence and thereby reduce catheter-related CSF infection.A retrospective study compared the occurrence of CSF infection related to use of either standard silastic catheters or hydrogel-coated ventricular catheters (Bioglide, Medtronic). The enrolment w...
متن کاملEvaluation of ventriculoperitoneal shunt malfunction regarding ventricular catheter placement
AbstractBackgroundline of treatment for management of hydrocephalus despite available new techniques andsystems of shunting. Associated complications should be recognized and managed properly,but the most recognized complications are shunt obstruction which its prevalencethrough surgical approach is discussed here. Two approaches (frontal and parietal) are usedto insert ventriculoperitoneal shu...
متن کاملThe impact of antibiotic-impregnated catheters on ventriculoperitoneal shunt infection.
BACKGROUND/AIM Ventriculoperitoneal shunt infections remain an important problem and result mainlyfrom perioperative colonization of shunt components by skin flora. Antibiotic-impregnated shunts have been designed to prevent such colonization. T'his study evaluates the incidence of shunt infection after the insertion of antibiotic-impregnated shunts in a population of children with hydrocephalu...
متن کاملModel-Guided Placement of Cerebral Ventricular Catheters
Purpose: Freehand placement of external ventricular drainage is not sufficiently accurate and precise. In the absence of high quality pre-operative 3D images, we propose the use of an average model for guidance of ventricular catheters. Methods: The model was segmented to extract the ventricles and registered to five normal volunteers using a combination of landmark based and surface based regi...
متن کاملProtein adsorption to hydrocephalus shunt catheters: CSF protein adsorption.
OBJECTIVE To assess the quantity and nature of the proteins that adsorb to hydrocephalus shunt catheters after implantation, and to determine whether sufficient could accumulate to obstruct the catheter. DESIGN Elution of proteins from 102 explanted shunt catheters, with protein assay and electrophoresis of the eluate, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the catheters. RESULTS The amo...
