Programmable CSF shunt valves: radiographic identification and interpretation.
The programmable CSF shunt valve has become an important tool in hydrocephalus treatment, particularly in the NPH population and in pediatric patients with complex hydrocephalus. The purpose of this study is to provide a single reference for the identification of programmable shunt valves and the interpretation of programmable shunt valve settings. Four major manufacturers of programmable shunt...
متن کاملA guide to the radiographic identification of prosthetic heart valves.
To facilitate the radiographic identification of prosthetic heart valves, radiographic silhouettes of various aortic, mitral and tricuspid valve prostheses were analyzed and shematized. Forty different prosthetic valve models (heterograft and mechanical) were obtained from seven domestic manufacturers. Each prosthesis was positioned to approximate the aortic, mitral or tricuspid valve anulus pl...
متن کاملMaladjustment of programmable ventricular shunt valves by inadvertent exposure to a common hospital device
Background Programmable ventricular shunt valves are commonly used to treat hydrocephalus. They can be adjusted to allow for varying amounts of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow using an external magnetic programming device, and are susceptible to maladjustment from inadvertent exposure to magnetic fields. Case Description We describe the case of a 3-month-old girl treated for hydrocephalus with...
متن کاملThe Value of Programmable Shunt Valves for the Management of Subdural Collections in Patients with Hydrocephalus
BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to assess the value of electromagnetic programmable shunt valves for the treatment of subdural collections. METHODS Adult patients with hydrocephalus of various causes that were treated with programmable shunt valves during the last ten years were retrospectively studied. In 127 patients, 139 electromagnetic programmable shunt valves were implanted....
